Valid index +numbers range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with +:ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` (struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus +one. The contents of the struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer` returned +by a :ref:`DMX_QUERYBUF` ioctl will do as well. + +When ``DMX_QBUF`` is called with a pointer to this structure, it locks the +memory pages of the buffer in physical memory, so they cannot be swapped +out to disk. Buffers remain locked until dequeued, until the +the device is closed. + +Applications call the ``DMX_DQBUF`` ioctl to dequeue a filled +(capturing) buffer from the driver's outgoing queue. +They just set the ``index`` field with the buffer ID to be queued. +When ``DMX_DQBUF`` is called with a pointer to struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer`, +the driver fills the remaining fields or returns an error code. + +By default ``DMX_DQBUF`` blocks when no buffer is in the outgoing +queue. When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag was given to the +:c:func:`open()` function, ``DMX_DQBUF`` returns +immediately with an ``EAGAIN`` error code when no buffer is available. + +The struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer` structure is specified in +:ref:`buffer`. + +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. + +EAGAIN + Non-blocking I/O has been selected using ``O_NONBLOCK`` and no + buffer was in the outgoing queue. + +EINVAL + The ``index`` is out of bounds, or no buffers have been allocated yet. + +EIO + ``DMX_DQBUF`` failed due to an internal error. Can also indicate + temporary problems like signal loss or CRC errors. |
