+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: FE_READ_BER
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, FE_READ_BER, uint32_t *ber)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``ber``
+ The bit error rate is stored into \*ber.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl call returns the bit error rate for the signal currently
+received/demodulated by the front-end. For this command, read-only
+access to the device is sufficient.
+
+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.
