25 File descriptor returned by a previous call to :c:func:`open() <dvb-ca-open>`.
28 Buffer with data to be written
31 Number of bytes at the buffer
36 This system call is only provided by the logical device
37 ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/dvr?``, associated with the physical demux device that
38 provides the actual DVR functionality. It is used for replay of a
39 digitally recorded Transport Stream. Matching filters have to be defined
40 in the corresponding physical demux device, ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/demux?``.
41 The amount of data to be transferred is implied by count.
47 On success 0 is returned.
49 On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set

60 - No data was written. This might happen if ``O_NONBLOCK`` was
61 specified and there is no more buffer space available (if
62 ``O_NONBLOCK`` is not specified the function will block until buffer
66 - This error code indicates that there are conflicting requests. The
67 corresponding demux device is setup to receive data from the
68 front- end. Make sure that these filters are stopped and that the
69 filters with input set to ``DMX_IN_DVR`` are started.
