+
+.. c:function:: int open(const char *name, int flags)
+
+Arguments

+
+``name``
+ Name of specific Digital TV CA device.
+
+``flags``
+ A bit-wise OR of the following flags:
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{2.5cm}|p{15.0cm}|
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0

+
+ - - ``O_RDONLY``
+ - read-only access
+
+ - - ``O_RDWR``
+ - read/write access
+
+ - - ``O_NONBLOCK``
+ - open in non-blocking mode
+ (blocking mode is the default)
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This system call opens a named ca device (e.g. ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/ca?``)
+for subsequent use.
+
+When an ``open()`` call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The
+significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
+documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not
+affect the semantics of the ``open()`` call itself. A device opened in
+blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa)
+using the ``F_SETFL`` command of the ``fcntl`` system call. This is a
+standard system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl.
+Only one user can open the CA Device in ``O_RDWR`` mode. All other
+attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an error code
+will be returned.
+
+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.

+This document describes the high level CI API as in accordance to the
+Linux DVB API.
+
+
+With the High Level CI approach any new card with almost any random
+architecture can be implemented with this style, the definitions
+inside the switch statement can be easily adapted for any card, thereby
+eliminating the need for any additional ioctls.
+
+The disadvantage is that the driver/hardware has to manage the rest. For
+the application programmer it would be as simple as sending/receiving an
+array to/from the CI ioctls as defined in the Linux DVB API. No changes
+have been made in the API to accommodate this feature.
+
+
+Why the need for another CI interface?
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This is one of the most commonly asked question. Well a nice question.
+Strictly speaking this is not a new interface.
+
+The CI interface is defined in the DVB API in ca.h as:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef struct ca_slot_info {
+ int num; /* slot number */
+
+ int type; /* CA interface this slot supports */
+ #define CA_CI 1 /* CI high level interface */
+ #define CA_CI_LINK 2 /* CI link layer level interface */
+ #define CA_CI_PHYS 4 /* CI physical layer level interface */
+ #define CA_DESCR 8 /* built-in descrambler */
+ #define CA_SC 128 /* simple smart card interface */
+
+ unsigned int flags;
+ #define CA_CI_MODULE_PRESENT 1 /* module (or card) inserted */
+ #define CA_CI_MODULE_READY 2
+ } ca_slot_info_t;
+
+This CI interface follows the CI high level interface, which is not
+implemented by most applications. Hence this area is revisited.
+
+This CI interface is quite different in the case that it tries to
+accommodate all other CI based devices, that fall into the other categories.
+
+This means that this CI interface handles the EN50221 style tags in the
+Application layer only and no session management is taken care of by the
+application. The driver/hardware will take care of all that.
+
+This interface is purely an EN50221 interface exchanging APDU's. This
+means that no session management, link layer or a transport layer do
+exist in this case in the application to driver communication. It is
+as simple as that. The driver/hardware has to take care of that.
+
+With this High Level CI interface, the interface can be defined with the
+regular ioctls.
+
+All these ioctls are also valid for the High level CI interface
+
+#define CA_RESET _IO('o', 128)
+#define CA_GET_CAP _IOR('o', 129, ca_caps_t)
+#define CA_GET_SLOT_INFO _IOR('o', 130, ca_slot_info_t)
+#define CA_GET_DESCR_INFO _IOR('o', 131, ca_descr_info_t)
+#define CA_GET_MSG _IOR('o', 132, ca_msg_t)
+#define CA_SEND_MSG _IOW('o', 133, ca_msg_t)
+#define CA_SET_DESCR _IOW('o', 134, ca_descr_t)
+
+
+On querying the device, the device yields information thus:
+
+.. code-block:: none

+
+
+Not all ioctl's are implemented in the driver from the API, the other
+features of the hardware that cannot be implemented by the API are achieved
+using the CA_GET_MSG and CA_SEND_MSG ioctls. An EN50221 style wrapper is
+used to exchange the data to maintain compatibility with other hardware.

+ /* a message to/from a CI-CAM */
+ typedef struct ca_msg {
+ unsigned int index;
+ unsigned int type;
+ unsigned int length;
+ unsigned char msg[256];
+ } ca_msg_t;
+
+
+The flow of data can be described thus,

+DMX_EXPBUF - Export a buffer as a DMABUF file descriptor.
+
+.. warning:: this API is still experimental
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: DMX_EXPBUF
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, DMX_EXPBUF, struct dmx_exportbuffer *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`dmx_exportbuffer`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl is an extension to the memory mapping I/O method.
+It can be used to export a buffer as a DMABUF file at any time after
+buffers have been allocated with the :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` ioctl.
+
+To export a buffer, applications fill struct :c:type:`dmx_exportbuffer`.
+Applications must set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers
+range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS`
+(struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus one.
+Additional flags may be posted in the ``flags`` field. Refer to a manual
+for open() for details. Currently only O_CLOEXEC, O_RDONLY, O_WRONLY,
+and O_RDWR are supported.
+All other fields must be set to zero. In the
+case of multi-planar API, every plane is exported separately using
+multiple :ref:`DMX_EXPBUF` calls.
+
+After calling :ref:`DMX_EXPBUF` the ``fd`` field will be set by a
+driver, on success. This is a DMABUF file descriptor. The application may
+pass it to other DMABUF-aware devices. It is recommended to close a DMABUF
+file when it is no longer used to allow the associated memory to be reclaimed.
+
+Examples
+========
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ int buffer_export(int v4lfd, enum dmx_buf_type bt, int index, int *dmafd)
+ {
+ struct dmx_exportbuffer expbuf;
+
+ memset(&expbuf, 0, sizeof(expbuf));
+ expbuf.type = bt;
+ expbuf.index = index;
+ if (ioctl(v4lfd, DMX_EXPBUF, &expbuf) == -1) {
+ perror("DMX_EXPBUF");
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ *dmafd = expbuf.fd;
+
+ return 0;
+ }
+
+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.
+
+EINVAL
+ A queue is not in MMAP mode or DMABUF exporting is not supported or
+ ``flags`` or ``index`` fields are invalid.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This system call, used with a device name of ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/demux?``,

+filter to be used, i.e. every returned file descriptor is a reference to
+a single filter. ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/dvr?`` is a logical device to be used
+for retrieving Transport Streams for digital video recording. When
+reading from this device a transport stream containing the packets from
+all PES filters set in the corresponding demux device
+(``/dev/dvb/adapter?/demux?``) having the output set to ``DMX_OUT_TS_TAP``.
+A recorded Transport Stream is replayed by writing to this device.

+ multiple of the pagesize and mmap will fail when the specified
+ address cannot be used. Use of this option is discouraged;
+ applications should just specify a ``NULL`` pointer here.
+
+``length``
+ Length of the memory area to map. This must be a multiple of the
+ DVB packet length (188, on most drivers).
+
+``prot``
+ The ``prot`` argument describes the desired memory protection.
+ Regardless of the device type and the direction of data exchange it
+ should be set to ``PROT_READ`` | ``PROT_WRITE``, permitting read
+ and write access to image buffers. Drivers should support at least
+ this combination of flags.
+
+``flags``
+ The ``flags`` parameter specifies the type of the mapped object,
+ mapping options and whether modifications made to the mapped copy of
+ the page are private to the process or are to be shared with other
+ references.
+
+ ``MAP_FIXED`` requests that the driver selects no other address than
+ the one specified. If the specified address cannot be used,
+ :c:func:`mmap()` will fail. If ``MAP_FIXED`` is specified,
+ ``start`` must be a multiple of the pagesize. Use of this option is
+ discouraged.
+
+ One of the ``MAP_SHARED`` or ``MAP_PRIVATE`` flags must be set.
+ ``MAP_SHARED`` allows applications to share the mapped memory with
+ other (e. g. child-) processes.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ The Linux Digital TV applications should not set the
+ ``MAP_PRIVATE``, ``MAP_DENYWRITE``, ``MAP_EXECUTABLE`` or ``MAP_ANON``
+ flags.
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``offset``
+ Offset of the buffer in device memory, as returned by
+ :ref:`DMX_QUERYBUF` ioctl.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The :c:func:`mmap()` function asks to map ``length`` bytes starting at
+``offset`` in the memory of the device specified by ``fd`` into the
+application address space, preferably at address ``start``. This latter
+address is a hint only, and is usually specified as 0.
+
+Suitable length and offset parameters are queried with the
+:ref:`DMX_QUERYBUF` ioctl. Buffers must be allocated with the
+:ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` ioctl before they can be queried.
+
+To unmap buffers the :c:func:`munmap()` function is used.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success :c:func:`mmap()` returns a pointer to the mapped buffer. On
+error ``MAP_FAILED`` (-1) is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. Possible error codes are:
+
+EBADF
+ ``fd`` is not a valid file descriptor.
+
+EACCES
+ ``fd`` is not open for reading and writing.
+
+EINVAL
+ The ``start`` or ``length`` or ``offset`` are not suitable. (E. g.
+ they are too large, or not aligned on a ``PAGESIZE`` boundary.)
+
+ The ``flags`` or ``prot`` value is not supported.
+
+ No buffers have been allocated with the
+ :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` ioctl.
+
+ENOMEM
+ Not enough physical or virtual memory was available to complete the
+ request.

+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Applications call the ``DMX_QBUF`` ioctl to enqueue an empty
+(capturing) or filled (output) buffer in the driver's incoming queue.
+The semantics depend on the selected I/O method.
+
+To enqueue a buffer applications set the ``index`` field. Valid index
+numbers range from zero to the number of buffers allocated with
+:ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` (struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus
+one. The contents of the struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer` returned
+by a :ref:`DMX_QUERYBUF` ioctl will do as well.
+
+When ``DMX_QBUF`` is called with a pointer to this structure, it locks the
+memory pages of the buffer in physical memory, so they cannot be swapped
+out to disk. Buffers remain locked until dequeued, until the
+device is closed.
+
+Applications call the ``DMX_DQBUF`` ioctl to dequeue a filled
+(capturing) buffer from the driver's outgoing queue.
+They just set the ``index`` field with the buffer ID to be queued.
+When ``DMX_DQBUF`` is called with a pointer to struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer`,
+the driver fills the remaining fields or returns an error code.
+
+By default ``DMX_DQBUF`` blocks when no buffer is in the outgoing
+queue. When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag was given to the
+:c:func:`open()` function, ``DMX_DQBUF`` returns
+immediately with an ``EAGAIN`` error code when no buffer is available.
+
+The struct :c:type:`dmx_buffer` structure is specified in
+:ref:`buffer`.
+
+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.
+
+EAGAIN
+ Non-blocking I/O has been selected using ``O_NONBLOCK`` and no
+ buffer was in the outgoing queue.
+
+EINVAL
+ The ``index`` is out of bounds, or no buffers have been allocated yet.
+
+EIO
+ ``DMX_DQBUF`` failed due to an internal error. Can also indicate
+ temporary problems like signal loss or CRC errors.

+
+``int ioctl(int fd, DMX_REQBUFS, struct dmx_requestbuffers *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl is used to initiate a memory mapped or DMABUF based demux I/O.
+
+Memory mapped buffers are located in device memory and must be allocated
+with this ioctl before they can be mapped into the application's address
+space. User buffers are allocated by applications themselves, and this
+ioctl is merely used to switch the driver into user pointer I/O mode and
+to setup some internal structures. Similarly, DMABUF buffers are
+allocated by applications through a device driver, and this ioctl only
+configures the driver into DMABUF I/O mode without performing any direct
+allocation.
+
+To allocate device buffers applications initialize all fields of the
+struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` structure. They set the ``count`` field
+to the desired number of buffers, and ``size`` to the size of each
+buffer.
+
+When the ioctl is called with a pointer to this structure, the driver will
+attempt to allocate the requested number of buffers and it stores the actual
+number allocated in the ``count`` field. The ``count`` can be smaller than the number requested, even zero, when the driver runs out of free memory. A larger
+number is also possible when the driver requires more buffers to
+function correctly. The actual allocated buffer size can is returned
+at ``size``, and can be smaller than what's requested.
+
+When this I/O method is not supported, the ioctl returns an ``EOPNOTSUPP``
+error code.
+
+Applications can call :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` again to change the number of
+buffers, however this cannot succeed when any buffers are still mapped.
+A ``count`` value of zero frees all buffers, after aborting or finishing
+any DMA in progress.
+
+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.
+
+EOPNOTSUPP
+ The the requested I/O method is not supported.

+be a "one-shot" filter, i.e. if the filtering operation should be
+stopped after the first section is received, and whether the filtering
+operation should be started immediately (without waiting for a

+Once :ref:`FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>` is called, the
+frontend will run a kernel thread that will periodically check for the
+tuner lock status and provide statistics about the quality of the
+signal.
+
+The information about the frontend tuner locking status can be queried
+using :ref:`FE_READ_STATUS`.
+
+Signal statistics are provided via
+:ref:`FE_GET_PROPERTY`.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Most statistics require the demodulator to be fully locked
+ (e. g. with :c:type:`FE_HAS_LOCK <fe_status>` bit set). See

+*******************
+frontend parameters
+*******************
+
+The kind of parameters passed to the frontend device for tuning depend
+on the kind of hardware you are using.
+
+The struct ``dvb_frontend_parameters`` uses a union with specific
+per-system parameters. However, as newer delivery systems required more
+data, the structure size weren't enough to fit, and just extending its
+size would break the existing applications. So, those parameters were
+replaced by the usage of
+:ref:`FE_GET_PROPERTY/FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>`
+ioctl's. The new API is flexible enough to add new parameters to
+existing delivery systems, and to add newer delivery systems.
+
+So, newer applications should use
+:ref:`FE_GET_PROPERTY/FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>`
+instead, in order to be able to support the newer System Delivery like
+DVB-S2, DVB-T2, DVB-C2, ISDB, etc.
+
+All kinds of parameters are combined as a union in the
+``dvb_frontend_parameters`` structure:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dvb_frontend_parameters {
+ uint32_t frequency; /* (absolute) frequency in Hz for QAM/OFDM */
+ /* intermediate frequency in kHz for QPSK */
+ fe_spectral_inversion_t inversion;
+ union {
+ struct dvb_qpsk_parameters qpsk;
+ struct dvb_qam_parameters qam;
+ struct dvb_ofdm_parameters ofdm;
+ struct dvb_vsb_parameters vsb;
+ } u;
+ };
+
+In the case of QPSK frontends the ``frequency`` field specifies the
+intermediate frequency, i.e. the offset which is effectively added to
+the local oscillator frequency (LOF) of the LNB. The intermediate
+frequency has to be specified in units of kHz. For QAM and OFDM
+frontends the ``frequency`` specifies the absolute frequency and is
+given in Hz.
+
+
+.. c:type:: dvb_qpsk_parameters
+
+QPSK parameters
+===============
+
+For satellite QPSK frontends you have to use the ``dvb_qpsk_parameters``
+structure:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dvb_qpsk_parameters {
+ uint32_t symbol_rate; /* symbol rate in Symbols per second */
+ fe_code_rate_t fec_inner; /* forward error correction (see above) */
+ };
+
+
+.. c:type:: dvb_qam_parameters
+
+QAM parameters
+==============
+
+for cable QAM frontend you use the ``dvb_qam_parameters`` structure:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dvb_qam_parameters {
+ uint32_t symbol_rate; /* symbol rate in Symbols per second */
+ fe_code_rate_t fec_inner; /* forward error correction (see above) */
+ fe_modulation_t modulation; /* modulation type (see above) */
+ };
+
+
+.. c:type:: dvb_vsb_parameters
+
+VSB parameters
+==============
+
+ATSC frontends are supported by the ``dvb_vsb_parameters`` structure:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dvb_vsb_parameters {
+ fe_modulation_t modulation; /* modulation type (see above) */
+ };
+
+
+.. c:type:: dvb_ofdm_parameters
+
+OFDM parameters
+===============
+
+DVB-T frontends are supported by the ``dvb_ofdm_parameters`` structure:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct dvb_ofdm_parameters {
+ fe_bandwidth_t bandwidth;
+ fe_code_rate_t code_rate_HP; /* high priority stream code rate */
+ fe_code_rate_t code_rate_LP; /* low priority stream code rate */
+ fe_modulation_t constellation; /* modulation type (see above) */
+ fe_transmit_mode_t transmission_mode;

+
+Tuning into a Digital TV physical channel and starting decoding it
+requires changing a set of parameters, in order to control the tuner,
+the demodulator, the Linear Low-noise Amplifier (LNA) and to set the
+antenna subsystem via Satellite Equipment Control - SEC (on satellite
+systems). The actual parameters are specific to each particular digital
+TV standards, and may change as the digital TV specs evolves.
+
+In the past (up to DVB API version 3 - DVBv3), the strategy used was to have a
+union with the parameters needed to tune for DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and
+ATSC delivery systems grouped there. The problem is that, as the second
+generation standards appeared, the size of such union was not big
+enough to group the structs that would be required for those new
+standards. Also, extending it would break userspace.
+
+So, the legacy union/struct based approach was deprecated, in favor
+of a properties set approach. On such approach,
+:ref:`FE_GET_PROPERTY and FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>` are used
+to setup the frontend and read its status.
+
+The actual action is determined by a set of dtv_property cmd/data pairs.
+With one single ioctl, is possible to get/set up to 64 properties.
+
+This section describes the new and recommended way to set the frontend,
+with supports all digital TV delivery systems.
+
+.. note::
+
+ 1. On Linux DVB API version 3, setting a frontend was done via
+ struct :c:type:`dvb_frontend_parameters`.
+
+ 2. Don't use DVB API version 3 calls on hardware with supports
+ newer standards. Such API provides no support or a very limited
+ support to new standards and/or new hardware.
+
+ 3. Nowadays, most frontends support multiple delivery systems.
+ Only with DVB API version 5 calls it is possible to switch between
+ the multiple delivery systems supported by a frontend.
+
+ 4. DVB API version 5 is also called *S2API*, as the first
+ new standard added to it was DVB-S2.
+
+**Example**: in order to set the hardware to tune into a DVB-C channel
+at 651 kHz, modulated with 256-QAM, FEC 3/4 and symbol rate of 5.217
+Mbauds, those properties should be sent to
+:ref:`FE_SET_PROPERTY <FE_GET_PROPERTY>` ioctl:
+
+ :ref:`DTV_DELIVERY_SYSTEM <DTV-DELIVERY-SYSTEM>` = SYS_DVBC_ANNEX_A
+
+ :ref:`DTV_FREQUENCY <DTV-FREQUENCY>` = 651000000
+
+ :ref:`DTV_MODULATION <DTV-MODULATION>` = QAM_256
+
+ :ref:`DTV_INVERSION <DTV-INVERSION>` = INVERSION_AUTO
+
+ :ref:`DTV_SYMBOL_RATE <DTV-SYMBOL-RATE>` = 5217000
+
+ :ref:`DTV_INNER_FEC <DTV-INNER-FEC>` = FEC_3_4
+
+ :ref:`DTV_TUNE <DTV-TUNE>`
+
+The code that would that would do the above is show in
+:ref:`dtv-prop-example`.

+
+All Digital TV frontend devices support the :ref:`FE_GET_INFO` ioctl. It is
+used to identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to
+obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
+takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
+When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
+returns an error.
+
+frontend capabilities
+=====================
+
+Capabilities describe what a frontend can do. Some capabilities are
+supported only on some specific frontend types.
+
+The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.

+============
+
+On success 0 is returned.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set

+
+DTV_FREQUENCY
+=============
+
+Frequency of the digital TV transponder/channel.
+
+.. note::
+
+ #. For satellite delivery systems, the frequency is in kHz.
+
+ #. For cable and terrestrial delivery systems, the frequency is in
+ Hz.
+
+ #. On most delivery systems, the frequency is the center frequency
+ of the transponder/channel. The exception is for ISDB-T, where
+ the main carrier has a 1/7 offset from the center.
+
+ #. For ISDB-T, the channels are usually transmitted with an offset of
+ about 143kHz. E.g. a valid frequency could be 474,143 kHz. The
+ stepping is bound to the bandwidth of the channel which is
+ typically 6MHz.
+
+ #. In ISDB-Tsb, the channel consists of only one or three segments the
+ frequency step is 429kHz, 3*429 respectively.
+
+
+.. _DTV-MODULATION:
+
+DTV_MODULATION
+==============
+
+Specifies the frontend modulation type for delivery systems that
+supports more multiple modulations.
+
+The modulation can be one of the types defined by enum :c:type:`fe_modulation`.
+
+Most of the digital TV standards offers more than one possible
+modulation type.
+
+The table below presents a summary of the types of modulation types
+supported by each delivery system, as currently defined by specs.
+
+======================= =======================================================
+Standard Modulation types
+======================= =======================================================
+ATSC (version 1) 8-VSB and 16-VSB.
+DMTB 4-QAM, 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM and 4-QAM-NR.
+DVB-C Annex A/C 16-QAM, 32-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM.
+DVB-C Annex B 64-QAM.
+DVB-C2 QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM, 256-QAM, 1024-QAM and 4096-QAM.
+DVB-T QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM.
+DVB-T2 QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM and 256-QAM.
+DVB-S No need to set. It supports only QPSK.
+DVB-S2 QPSK, 8-PSK, 16-APSK and 32-APSK.
+DVB-S2X 8-APSK-L, 16-APSK-L, 32-APSK-L, 64-APSK and 64-APSK-L.
+ISDB-T QPSK, DQPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM.
+ISDB-S 8-PSK, QPSK and BPSK.
+======================= =======================================================
+
+.. note::
+
+ As DVB-S2X specifies extensions to the DVB-S2 standard, the same
+ delivery system enum value is used (SYS_DVBS2).
+
+ Please notice that some of the above modulation types may not be
+ defined currently at the Kernel. The reason is simple: no driver
+ needed such definition yet.
+
+
+.. _DTV-BANDWIDTH-HZ:
+
+DTV_BANDWIDTH_HZ
+================
+
+Bandwidth for the channel, in HZ.
+
+Should be set only for terrestrial delivery systems.
+
+Possible values: ``1712000``, ``5000000``, ``6000000``, ``7000000``,
+``8000000``, ``10000000``.
+
+======================= =======================================================
+Terrestrial Standard Possible values for bandwidth
+======================= =======================================================
+ATSC (version 1) No need to set. It is always 6MHz.
+DMTB No need to set. It is always 8MHz.
+DVB-T 6MHz, 7MHz and 8MHz.
+DVB-T2 1.172 MHz, 5MHz, 6MHz, 7MHz, 8MHz and 10MHz
+ISDB-T 5MHz, 6MHz, 7MHz and 8MHz, although most places
+ use 6MHz.
+======================= =======================================================
+
+
+.. note::
+
+
+ #. For ISDB-Tsb, the bandwidth can vary depending on the number of
+ connected segments.
+
+ It can be easily derived from other parameters
+ (DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX, DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT).
+
+ #. On Satellite and Cable delivery systems, the bandwidth depends on
+ the symbol rate. So, the Kernel will silently ignore any setting
+ :ref:`DTV-BANDWIDTH-HZ`. I will however fill it back with a
+ bandwidth estimation.
+
+ Such bandwidth estimation takes into account the symbol rate set with
+ :ref:`DTV-SYMBOL-RATE`, and the rolloff factor, with is fixed for
+ DVB-C and DVB-S.
+
+ For DVB-S2, the rolloff should also be set via :ref:`DTV-ROLLOFF`.
+

+
+DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION
+===========================
+
+Used only on ISDB.
+
+If ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '0' this bit-field represents
+whether the channel is in partial reception mode or not.
+
+If '1' ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYERA_*`` values are assigned to the center segment
+and ``DTV_ISDBT_LAYERA_SEGMENT_COUNT`` has to be '1'.

+
+This field represents whether the other DTV_ISDBT_*-parameters are
+referring to an ISDB-T and an ISDB-Tsb channel. (See also
+``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION``).
+
+Possible values: 0, 1, -1 (AUTO)
+
+
+.. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SUBCHANNEL-ID:
+
+DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID
+==========================
+
+Used only on ISDB.
+
+This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'.
+
+(Note of the author: This might not be the correct description of the
+``SUBCHANNEL-ID`` in all details, but it is my understanding of the
+technical background needed to program a device)
+
+An ISDB-Tsb channel (1 or 3 segments) can be broadcasted alone or in a
+set of connected ISDB-Tsb channels. In this set of channels every
+channel can be received independently. The number of connected ISDB-Tsb
+segment can vary, e.g. depending on the frequency spectrum bandwidth
+available.
+
+Example: Assume 8 ISDB-Tsb connected segments are broadcasted. The
+broadcaster has several possibilities to put those channels in the air:
+Assuming a normal 13-segment ISDB-T spectrum he can align the 8 segments
+from position 1-8 to 5-13 or anything in between.
+
+The underlying layer of segments are subchannels: each segment is
+consisting of several subchannels with a predefined IDs. A sub-channel
+is used to help the demodulator to synchronize on the channel.
+
+An ISDB-T channel is always centered over all sub-channels. As for the
+example above, in ISDB-Tsb it is no longer as simple as that.
+
+``The DTV_ISDBT_SB_SUBCHANNEL_ID`` parameter is used to give the
+sub-channel ID of the segment to be demodulated.
+
+Possible values: 0 .. 41, -1 (AUTO)
+
+
+.. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SEGMENT-IDX:
+
+DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX
+========================
+
+Used only on ISDB.
+
+This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'.
+
+``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_IDX`` gives the index of the segment to be
+demodulated for an ISDB-Tsb channel where several of them are
+transmitted in the connected manner.
+
+Possible values: 0 .. ``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT`` - 1
+
+Note: This value cannot be determined by an automatic channel search.
+
+
+.. _DTV-ISDBT-SB-SEGMENT-COUNT:
+
+DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT
+==========================
+
+Used only on ISDB.
+
+This field only applies if ``DTV_ISDBT_SOUND_BROADCASTING`` is '1'.
+
+``DTV_ISDBT_SB_SEGMENT_COUNT`` gives the total count of connected
+ISDB-Tsb channels.
+
+Possible values: 1 .. 13
+
+Note: This value cannot be determined by an automatic channel search.
+
+
+.. _isdb-hierq-layers:
+
+DTV-ISDBT-LAYER[A-C] parameters
+===============================
+
+Used only on ISDB.
+
+ISDB-T channels can be coded hierarchically. As opposed to DVB-T in
+ISDB-T hierarchical layers can be decoded simultaneously. For that
+reason a ISDB-T demodulator has 3 Viterbi and 3 Reed-Solomon decoders.
+
+ISDB-T has 3 hierarchical layers which each can use a part of the
+available segments. The total number of segments over all layers has to
+13 in ISDB-T.
+
+There are 3 parameter sets, for Layers A, B and C.
+
+
+.. _DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-ENABLED:
+
+DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED
+-----------------------
+
+Used only on ISDB.
+
+Hierarchical reception in ISDB-T is achieved by enabling or disabling
+layers in the decoding process. Setting all bits of
+``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` to '1' forces all layers (if applicable) to
+be demodulated. This is the default.
+
+If the channel is in the partial reception mode
+(``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION`` = 1) the central segment can be decoded
+independently of the other 12 segments. In that mode layer A has to have
+a ``SEGMENT_COUNT`` of 1.
+
+In ISDB-Tsb only layer A is used, it can be 1 or 3 in ISDB-Tsb according
+to ``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION``. ``SEGMENT_COUNT`` must be filled
+accordingly.
+
+Only the values of the first 3 bits are used. Other bits will be silently ignored:
+
+``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bit 0: layer A enabled
+
+``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bit 1: layer B enabled
+
+``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bit 2: layer C enabled
+
+``DTV_ISDBT_LAYER_ENABLED`` bits 3-31: unused
+
+
+.. _DTV-ISDBT-LAYER-FEC:

+Possible values are: ``QAM_AUTO``, ``QPSK``, ``QAM_16``, ``QAM_64``, ``DQPSK``
+
+.. note::
+
+ #. If layer C is ``DQPSK``, then layer B has to be ``DQPSK``.
+
+ #. If layer B is ``DQPSK`` and ``DTV_ISDBT_PARTIAL_RECEPTION``\ = 0,
+ then layer has to be ``DQPSK``.

+ #. DTMB specifies C1 and C3780.
+
+
+.. _DTV-HIERARCHY:
+
+DTV_HIERARCHY
+=============
+
+Used only on DVB-T and DVB-T2.
+
+Frontend hierarchy.
+
+The acceptable values are defined by :c:type:`fe_hierarchy`.
+
+
+.. _DTV-STREAM-ID:
+
+DTV_STREAM_ID
+=============
+
+Used on DVB-C2, DVB-S2, DVB-T2 and ISDB-S.
+
+DVB-C2, DVB-S2, DVB-T2 and ISDB-S support the transmission of several
+streams on a single transport stream. This property enables the digital
+TV driver to handle substream filtering, when supported by the hardware.
+By default, substream filtering is disabled.
+
+For DVB-C2, DVB-S2 and DVB-T2, the valid substream id range is from 0 to
+255.
+
+For ISDB, the valid substream id range is from 1 to 65535.
+
+To disable it, you should use the special macro NO_STREAM_ID_FILTER.
+
+Note: any value outside the id range also disables filtering.
+
+
+.. _DTV-DVBT2-PLP-ID-LEGACY:
+
+DTV_DVBT2_PLP_ID_LEGACY
+=======================
+
+Obsolete, replaced with DTV_STREAM_ID.
+
+
+.. _DTV-ENUM-DELSYS:
+
+DTV_ENUM_DELSYS
+===============
+
+A Multi standard frontend needs to advertise the delivery systems
+provided. Applications need to enumerate the provided delivery systems,
+before using any other operation with the frontend. Prior to it's
+introduction, FE_GET_INFO was used to determine a frontend type. A
+frontend which provides more than a single delivery system,
+FE_GET_INFO doesn't help much. Applications which intends to use a
+multistandard frontend must enumerate the delivery systems associated
+with it, rather than trying to use FE_GET_INFO. In the case of a
+legacy frontend, the result is just the same as with FE_GET_INFO, but
+in a more structured format
+
+The acceptable values are defined by :c:type:`fe_delivery_system`.
+
+
+.. _DTV-INTERLEAVING:
+
+DTV_INTERLEAVING
+================
+
+Time interleaving to be used.
+
+The acceptable values are defined by :c:type:`fe_interleaving`.
+
+
+.. _DTV-LNA:
+
+DTV_LNA
+=======
+
+Low-noise amplifier.
+
+Hardware might offer controllable LNA which can be set manually using
+that parameter. Usually LNA could be found only from terrestrial devices
+if at all.
+
+Possible values: 0, 1, LNA_AUTO
+
+0, LNA off
+
+1, LNA on
+
+use the special macro LNA_AUTO to set LNA auto
+
+
+.. _DTV-SCRAMBLING-SEQUENCE-INDEX:
+
+DTV_SCRAMBLING_SEQUENCE_INDEX
+=============================
+
+Used on DVB-S2.
+
+This 18 bit field, when present, carries the index of the DVB-S2 physical
+layer scrambling sequence as defined in clause 5.5.4 of EN 302 307.
+There is no explicit signalling method to convey scrambling sequence index
+to the receiver. If S2 satellite delivery system descriptor is available
+it can be used to read the scrambling sequence index (EN 300 468 table 41).
+
+By default, gold scrambling sequence index 0 is used.
+
+The valid scrambling sequence index range is from 0 to 262142.

+ISDB-T delivery system
+======================
+
+This ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb API extension should reflect all information needed
+to tune any ISDB-T/ISDB-Tsb hardware. Of course it is possible that some
+very sophisticated devices won't need certain parameters to tune.
+
+The information given here should help application writers to know how
+to handle ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb hardware using the Linux Digital TV API.
+
+The details given here about ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb are just enough to
+basically show the dependencies between the needed parameter values, but
+surely some information is left out. For more detailed information see
+the following documents:
+
+ARIB STD-B31 - "Transmission System for Digital Terrestrial Television
+Broadcasting" and
+
+ARIB TR-B14 - "Operational Guidelines for Digital Terrestrial Television
+Broadcasting".
+
+In order to understand the ISDB specific parameters, one has to have
+some knowledge the channel structure in ISDB-T and ISDB-Tsb. I.e. it has
+to be known to the reader that an ISDB-T channel consists of 13
+segments, that it can have up to 3 layer sharing those segments, and
+things like that.

+******************************
+Frontend statistics indicators
+******************************
+
+The values are returned via ``dtv_property.stat``. If the property is
+supported, ``dtv_property.stat.len`` is bigger than zero.
+
+For most delivery systems, ``dtv_property.stat.len`` will be 1 if the
+stats is supported, and the properties will return a single value for
+each parameter.
+
+It should be noted, however, that new OFDM delivery systems like ISDB
+can use different modulation types for each group of carriers. On such
+standards, up to 3 groups of statistics can be provided, and
+``dtv_property.stat.len`` is updated to reflect the "global" metrics,
+plus one metric per each carrier group (called "layer" on ISDB).
+
+So, in order to be consistent with other delivery systems, the first
+value at :c:type:`dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats <dtv_stats>` array refers
+to the global metric. The other elements of the array represent each
+layer, starting from layer A(index 1), layer B (index 2) and so on.
+
+The number of filled elements are stored at ``dtv_property.stat.len``.
+
+Each element of the ``dtv_property.stat.dtv_stats`` array consists on
+two elements:
+
+- ``svalue`` or ``uvalue``, where ``svalue`` is for signed values of
+ the measure (dB measures) and ``uvalue`` is for unsigned values
+ (counters, relative scale)
+
+- ``scale`` - Scale for the value. It can be:
+
+ - ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - The parameter is supported by the
+ frontend, but it was not possible to collect it (could be a
+ transitory or permanent condition)
+
+ - ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` - parameter is a signed value, measured in
+ 1/1000 dB
+
+ - ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` - parameter is a unsigned value, where 0
+ means 0% and 65535 means 100%.
+
+ - ``FE_SCALE_COUNTER`` - parameter is a unsigned value that counts
+ the occurrence of an event, like bit error, block error, or lapsed
+ time.
+
+
+.. _DTV-STAT-SIGNAL-STRENGTH:
+
+DTV_STAT_SIGNAL_STRENGTH
+========================
+
+Indicates the signal strength level at the analog part of the tuner or
+of the demod.
+
+Possible scales for this metric are:
+
+- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - it failed to measure it, or the
+ measurement was not complete yet.
+
+- ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` - signal strength is in 0.001 dBm units, power
+ measured in miliwatts. This value is generally negative.
+
+- ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` - The frontend provides a 0% to 100%
+ measurement for power (actually, 0 to 65535).
+
+
+.. _DTV-STAT-CNR:
+
+DTV_STAT_CNR
+============
+
+Indicates the Signal to Noise ratio for the main carrier.
+
+Possible scales for this metric are:
+
+- ``FE_SCALE_NOT_AVAILABLE`` - it failed to measure it, or the
+ measurement was not complete yet.
+
+- ``FE_SCALE_DECIBEL`` - Signal/Noise ratio is in 0.001 dB units.
+
+- ``FE_SCALE_RELATIVE`` - The frontend provides a 0% to 100%
+ measurement for Signal/Noise (actually, 0 to 65535).
+
+
+.. _DTV-STAT-PRE-ERROR-BIT-COUNT:
+
+DTV_STAT_PRE_ERROR_BIT_COUNT
+============================
+
+Measures the number of bit errors before the forward error correction
+(FEC) on the inner coding block (before Viterbi, LDPC or other inner
+code).
+
+This measure is taken during the same interval as

+Digital TV Frontend API
+#######################
+
+The Digital TV frontend API was designed to support three groups of delivery
+systems: Terrestrial, cable and Satellite. Currently, the following
+delivery systems are supported:
+
+- Terrestrial systems: DVB-T, DVB-T2, ATSC, ATSC M/H, ISDB-T, DVB-H,
+ DTMB, CMMB
+
+- Cable systems: DVB-C Annex A/C, ClearQAM (DVB-C Annex B)
+
+- Satellite systems: DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB Turbo, ISDB-S, DSS
+
+The Digital TV frontend controls several sub-devices including:
+
+- Tuner
+
+- Digital TV demodulator
+
+- Low noise amplifier (LNA)
+
+- Satellite Equipment Control (SEC) [#f1]_.
+
+The frontend can be accessed through ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/frontend?``.
+Data types and ioctl definitions can be accessed by including
+``linux/dvb/frontend.h`` in your application.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Transmission via the internet (DVB-IP) and MMT (MPEG Media Transport)
+ is not yet handled by this API but a future extension is possible.
+
+.. [#f1]
+
+ On Satellite systems, the API support for the Satellite Equipment
+ Control (SEC) allows to power control and to send/receive signals to
+ control the antenna subsystem, selecting the polarization and choosing
+ the Intermediate Frequency IF) of the Low Noise Block Converter Feed
+ Horn (LNBf). It supports the DiSEqC and V-SEC protocols. The DiSEqC
+ (digital SEC) specification is available at
+ `Eutelsat <http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html>`__.

+ Open flags. Access can either be ``O_RDWR`` or ``O_RDONLY``.
+
+ Multiple opens are allowed with ``O_RDONLY``. In this mode, only

+
+ When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag is given, the system calls may return

+
+ Other flags have no effect.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This system call opens a named frontend device
+(``/dev/dvb/adapter?/frontend?``) for subsequent use. Usually the first
+thing to do after a successful open is to find out the frontend type
+with :ref:`FE_GET_INFO`.
+
+The device can be opened in read-only mode, which only allows monitoring
+of device status and statistics, or read/write mode, which allows any
+kind of use (e.g. performing tuning operations.)
+
+In a system with multiple front-ends, it is usually the case that
+multiple devices cannot be open in read/write mode simultaneously. As
+long as a front-end device is opened in read/write mode, other open()
+calls in read/write mode will either fail or block, depending on whether
+non-blocking or blocking mode was specified. A front-end device opened
+in blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice
+versa) using the F_SETFL command of the fcntl system call. This is a
+standard system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl.
+When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use in
+the specified mode. This implies that the corresponding hardware is
+powered up, and that other front-ends may have been powered down to make
+that possible.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success :c:func:`open()` returns the new file descriptor.
+On error, -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+
+Possible error codes are:
+
+On success 0 is returned, and :c:type:`ca_slot_info` is filled.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately.

+
+What you need to know
+=====================
+
+The reader of this document is required to have some knowledge in the
+area of digital video broadcasting (Digital TV) and should be familiar with
+part I of the MPEG2 specification ISO/IEC 13818 (aka ITU-T H.222), i.e
+you should know what a program/transport stream (PS/TS) is and what is
+meant by a packetized elementary stream (PES) or an I-frame.
+
+Various Digital TV standards documents are available for download at:
+
+- European standards (DVB): http://www.dvb.org and/or http://www.etsi.org.
+- American standards (ATSC): https://www.atsc.org/standards/
+- Japanese standards (ISDB): http://www.dibeg.org/
+
+It is also necessary to know how to access Linux devices and how to
+use ioctl calls. This also includes the knowledge of C or C++.
+
+
+.. _history:
+
+History
+=======
+
+The first API for Digital TV cards we used at Convergence in late 1999 was an
+extension of the Video4Linux API which was primarily developed for frame
+grabber cards. As such it was not really well suited to be used for Digital
+TV cards and their new features like recording MPEG streams and filtering
+several section and PES data streams at the same time.
+
+In early 2000, Convergence was approached by Nokia with a proposal for a new
+standard Linux Digital TV API. As a commitment to the development of terminals
+based on open standards, Nokia and Convergence made it available to all
+Linux developers and published it on https://linuxtv.org in September
+2000. With the Linux driver for the Siemens/Hauppauge DVB PCI card,
+Convergence provided a first implementation of the Linux Digital TV API.
+Convergence was the maintainer of the Linux Digital TV API in the early
+days.
+
+Now, the API is maintained by the LinuxTV community (i.e. you, the reader
+of this document). The Linux Digital TV API is constantly reviewed and
+improved together with the improvements at the subsystem's core at the
+Kernel.
+
+
+.. _overview:
+
+Overview
+========
+
+
+.. _stb_components:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: dvbstb.svg
+ :alt: dvbstb.svg
+ :align: center
+
+ Components of a Digital TV card/STB
+
+A Digital TV card or set-top-box (STB) usually consists of the
+following main hardware components:
+
+Frontend consisting of tuner and digital TV demodulator
+ Here the raw signal reaches the digital TV hardware from a satellite dish or
+ antenna or directly from cable. The frontend down-converts and
+ demodulates this signal into an MPEG transport stream (TS). In case
+ of a satellite frontend, this includes a facility for satellite
+ equipment control (SEC), which allows control of LNB polarization,
+ multi feed switches or dish rotors.
+
+Conditional Access (CA) hardware like CI adapters and smartcard slots
+ The complete TS is passed through the CA hardware. Programs to which
+ the user has access (controlled by the smart card) are decoded in
+ real time and re-inserted into the TS.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Not every digital TV hardware provides conditional access hardware.
+
+Demultiplexer which filters the incoming Digital TV MPEG-TS stream
+ The demultiplexer splits the TS into its components like audio and
+ video streams. Besides usually several of such audio and video
+ streams it also contains data streams with information about the
+ programs offered in this or other streams of the same provider.
+
+Audio and video decoder
+ The main targets of the demultiplexer are audio and video
+ decoders. After decoding, they pass on the uncompressed audio and
+ video to the computer screen or to a TV set.
+
+ .. note::
+
+ Modern hardware usually doesn't have a separate decoder hardware, as
+ such functionality can be provided by the main CPU, by the graphics
+ adapter of the system or by a signal processing hardware embedded on
+ a Systems on a Chip (SoC) integrated circuit.
+
+ It may also not be needed for certain usages (e.g. for data-only
+ uses like "internet over satellite").
+
+:ref:`stb_components` shows a crude schematic of the control and data
+flow between those components.
+
+
+
+.. _dvb_devices:
+
+Linux Digital TV Devices
+========================
+
+The Linux Digital TV API lets you control these hardware components through
+currently six Unix-style character devices for video, audio, frontend,
+demux, CA and IP-over-DVB networking. The video and audio devices
+control the MPEG2 decoder hardware, the frontend device the tuner and
+the Digital TV demodulator. The demux device gives you control over the PES
+and section filters of the hardware. If the hardware does not support
+filtering these filters can be implemented in software. Finally, the CA
+device controls all the conditional access capabilities of the hardware.
+It can depend on the individual security requirements of the platform,
+if and how many of the CA functions are made available to the
+application through this device.
+
+All devices can be found in the ``/dev`` tree under ``/dev/dvb``. The
+individual devices are called:
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/audioM``,
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/videoM``,
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/frontendM``,
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/netM``,
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/demuxM``,
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/dvrM``,
+
+- ``/dev/dvb/adapterN/caM``,
+
+where ``N`` enumerates the Digital TV cards in a system starting from 0, and
+``M`` enumerates the devices of each type within each adapter, starting
+from 0, too. We will omit the "``/dev/dvb/adapterN/``\ " in the further
+discussion of these devices.
+
+More details about the data structures and function calls of all the
+devices are described in the following chapters.
+
+
+.. _include_files:
+
+API include files
+=================
+
+For each of the Digital TV devices a corresponding include file exists. The
+Digital TV API include files should be included in application sources with a
+partial path like:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ #include <linux/dvb/ca.h>
+
+ #include <linux/dvb/dmx.h>
+
+ #include <linux/dvb/frontend.h>
+
+ #include <linux/dvb/net.h>
+
+
+To enable applications to support different API version, an additional
+include file ``linux/dvb/version.h`` exists, which defines the constant
+``DVB_API_VERSION``. This document describes ``DVB_API_VERSION 5.10``.

+NET_GET_IF - Read the configuration data of an interface created via - :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: NET_GET_IF
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, NET_GET_IF, struct dvb_net_if *net_if)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``net_if``
+ pointer to struct :c:type:`dvb_net_if`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The NET_GET_IF ioctl uses the interface number given by the struct
+:c:type:`dvb_net_if`::ifnum field and fills the content of
+struct :c:type:`dvb_net_if` with the packet ID and
+encapsulation type used on such interface. If the interface was not
+created yet with :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`, it will return -1 and fill
+the ``errno`` with ``EINVAL`` error code.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, and :c:type:`ca_slot_info` is filled.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately.
+
+The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

+Digital TV Network API
+######################
+
+The Digital TV net device controls the mapping of data packages that are part
+of a transport stream to be mapped into a virtual network interface,
+visible through the standard Linux network protocol stack.
+
+Currently, two encapsulations are supported:
+
+- `Multi Protocol Encapsulation (MPE) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprotocol_Encapsulation>`__
+
+- `Ultra Lightweight Encapsulation (ULE) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidirectional_Lightweight_Encapsulation>`__
+
+In order to create the Linux virtual network interfaces, an application
+needs to tell to the Kernel what are the PIDs and the encapsulation
+types that are present on the transport stream. This is done through
+``/dev/dvb/adapter?/net?`` device node. The data will be available via
+virtual ``dvb?_?`` network interfaces, and will be controlled/routed via
+the standard ip tools (like ip, route, netstat, ifconfig, etc).
+
+Data types and ioctl definitions are defined via ``linux/dvb/net.h``
+header.

+Querying frontend information

+
+Usually, the first thing to do when the frontend is opened is to check
+the frontend capabilities. This is done using
+:ref:`FE_GET_INFO`. This ioctl will enumerate the
+Digital TV API version and other characteristics about the frontend, and can
+be opened either in read only or read/write mode.
