+
+LIRC_GET_FEATURES - Get the underlying hardware device's features
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: LIRC_GET_FEATURES
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, LIRC_GET_FEATURES, __u32 *features)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by open().
+
+``features``
+ Bitmask with the LIRC features.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Get the underlying hardware device's features. If a driver does not
+announce support of certain features, calling of the corresponding ioctls
+is undefined.
+
+LIRC features
+=============
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-RAW:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW``
+
+ Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-PULSE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_REC_PULSE``
+
+ Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
+ :ref:`LIRC_MODE_PULSE <lirc-mode-pulse>` can only be used for transmitting.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-MODE2:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_REC_MODE2``
+
+ This is raw IR driver for receiving. This means that
+ :ref:`LIRC_MODE_MODE2 <lirc-mode-MODE2>` is used. This also implies
+ that :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-SCANCODE>` is also supported,
+ as long as the kernel is recent enough. Use the
+ :ref:`lirc_set_rec_mode` to switch modes.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-LIRCCODE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_REC_LIRCCODE``
+
+ Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-SCANCODE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_REC_SCANCODE``
+
+ This is a scancode driver for receiving. This means that
+ :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-SCANCODE>` is used.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-SEND-CARRIER:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SET_SEND_CARRIER``
+
+ The driver supports changing the modulation frequency via
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_SEND_CARRIER <LIRC_SET_SEND_CARRIER>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-SEND-DUTY-CYCLE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE``
+
+ The driver supports changing the duty cycle using
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE <LIRC_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-TRANSMITTER-MASK:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK``
+
+ The driver supports changing the active transmitter(s) using
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK <LIRC_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-REC-CARRIER:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_CARRIER``
+
+ The driver supports setting the receive carrier frequency using
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER <LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-REC-CARRIER-RANGE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE``
+
+ The driver supports
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE <LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-GET-REC-RESOLUTION:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_GET_REC_RESOLUTION``
+
+ The driver supports
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_GET_REC_RESOLUTION <LIRC_GET_REC_RESOLUTION>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-REC-TIMEOUT:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_TIMEOUT``
+
+ The driver supports
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT <LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-MEASURE-CARRIER:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_MEASURE_CARRIER``
+
+ The driver supports measuring of the modulation frequency using
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_MEASURE_CARRIER_MODE <LIRC_SET_MEASURE_CARRIER_MODE>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-USE-WIDEBAND-RECEIVER:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_USE_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER``
+
+ The driver supports learning mode using
+ :ref:`ioctl LIRC_SET_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER <LIRC_SET_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER>`.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SEND-RAW:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SEND_RAW``
+
+ Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SEND-PULSE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SEND_PULSE``
+
+ The driver supports sending (also called as IR blasting or IR TX) using
+ :ref:`LIRC_MODE_PULSE <lirc-mode-pulse>`. This implies that
+ :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-SCANCODE>` is also supported for
+ transmit, as long as the kernel is recent enough. Use the
+ :ref:`lirc_set_send_mode` to switch modes.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SEND-MODE2:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SEND_MODE2``
+
+ Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
+ :ref:`LIRC_MODE_MODE2 <lirc-mode-mode2>` can only be used for receiving.
+
+.. _LIRC-CAN-SEND-LIRCCODE:
+
+``LIRC_CAN_SEND_LIRCCODE``
+
+ Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
+
+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.
