+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: FE_GET_EVENT
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, FE_GET_EVENT, struct dvb_frontend_event *ev)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``ev``
+ Points to the location where the event, if any, is to be stored.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl call returns a frontend event if available. If an event is
+not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking
+or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately
+with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call blocks until
+an event becomes available.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately.
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - ``EWOULDBLOCK``
+
+ - There is no event pending, and the device is in non-blocking mode.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - ``EOVERFLOW``
+
+ - Overflow in event queue - one or more events were lost.
