If the actual parameters are needed, an explicit + call to ``FE_GET_PROPERTY`` is needed. + +- ``FE_GET_PROPERTY:`` + + - This ioctl is used to get properties and statistics from the + frontend. + + - No properties are changed, and statistics aren't reset. + + - This call only requires read-only access to the device. + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned. + +On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. + +Generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. |
