Description
|
-----------
|
|
This system call, used with a device name of ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/demux?``,
|
allocates a new filter and returns a handle which can be used for
|
subsequent control of that filter. This call has to be made for each
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Return Value
|
------------
|
|
On success 0 is returned.
|
|
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
|
appropriately.
