+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - int fd
+
+ - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - int request
+
+ - Equals VIDEO_GET_PTS for this command.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - __u64 \*pts
+
+ - Returns the 33-bit timestamp as defined in ITU T-REC-H.222.0 /
+ ISO/IEC 13818-1.
+
+ The PTS should belong to the currently played frame if possible,
+ but may also be a value close to it like the PTS of the last
+ decoded frame or the last PTS extracted by the PES parser.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl is obsolete. Do not use in new drivers. For V4L2 decoders
+this ioctl has been replaced by the ``V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_DEC_PTS``
+control.
+
+This ioctl call asks the Video Device to return the current PTS
+timestamp.
+
+
+Return Value
+------------
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
