+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO, struct media_device_info *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+    Pointer to struct :c:type:`media_device_info`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+All media devices must support the ``MEDIA_IOC_DEVICE_INFO`` ioctl. To
+query device information, applications call the ioctl with a pointer to
+a struct :c:type:`media_device_info`. The driver
+fills the structure and returns the information to the application. The
+ioctl never fails.

+
+    *  -  char
+       -  ``driver``\ [16]
+       -  Name of the driver implementing the media API as a NUL-terminated
+	  ASCII string. The driver version is stored in the
+	  ``driver_version`` field.
+
+	  Driver specific applications can use this information to verify
+	  the driver identity. It is also useful to work around known bugs,
+	  or to identify drivers in error reports.
+
+    *  -  char
+       -  ``model``\ [32]
+       -  Device model name as a NUL-terminated UTF-8 string. The device
+	  version is stored in the ``device_version`` field and is not be
+	  appended to the model name.
+
+    *  -  char
+       -  ``serial``\ [40]
+       -  Serial number as a NUL-terminated ASCII string.
+
+    *  -  char
+       -  ``bus_info``\ [32]
+       -  Location of the device in the system as a NUL-terminated ASCII
+	  string. This includes the bus type name (PCI, USB, ...) and a
+	  bus-specific identifier.
+
+    *  -  __u32
+       -  ``media_version``
+       -  Media API version, formatted with the ``KERNEL_VERSION()`` macro.
+
+    *  -  __u32
+       -  ``hw_revision``
+       -  Hardware device revision in a driver-specific format.
+
+    *  -  __u32
+       -  ``driver_version``
+       -  Media device driver version, formatted with the
+	  ``KERNEL_VERSION()`` macro. Together with the ``driver`` field
+	  this identifies a particular driver.
+
+    *  -  __u32
+       -  ``reserved``\ [31]
+       -  Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
+	  this array to zero.
+
+The ``serial`` and ``bus_info`` fields can be used to distinguish
+between multiple instances of otherwise identical hardware. The serial
+number takes precedence when provided and can be assumed to be unique.
+If the serial number is an empty string, the ``bus_info`` field can be
+used instead. The ``bus_info`` field is guaranteed to be unique, but can
+vary across reboots or device unplug/replug.
+
+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.
