It is +used to check about the locking status of the frontend after being +tuned. The ioctl takes a pointer to an integer where the status will be +written. + +.. note:: + + The size of status is actually sizeof(enum fe_status), with + varies according with the architecture. This needs to be fixed in the + future. + +int fe_status +============= + +The fe_status parameter is used to indicate the current state and/or +state changes of the frontend hardware.
