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`. + +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 ` chapter. -- cgit v1.2.3
