5377d91f MH |
41 | =========== |
42 | ||
699f19e3 | 43 | All Digital TV frontend devices support the ``FE_READ_STATUS`` ioctl. It is |
5377d91f MH |
44 | used to check about the locking status of the frontend after being |
45 | tuned. The ioctl takes a pointer to an integer where the status will be | |
46 | written. | |

48 | .. note:: |
49 | ||
50 | The size of status is actually sizeof(enum fe_status), with | |
706f8a99 MCC |
51 | varies according with the architecture. This needs to be fixed in the |
52 | future. | |

55 | int fe_status |
56 | ============= | |
57 | ||
58 | The fe_status parameter is used to indicate the current state and/or | |
59 | state changes of the frontend hardware. It is produced using the enum | |
836cf1db MCC |
60 | :c:type:`fe_status` values on a bitmask |
