38 All Digital TV frontend devices support the ``FE_SET_PROPERTY`` and
39 ``FE_GET_PROPERTY`` ioctls. The supported properties and statistics
40 depends on the delivery system and on the device:
42 - ``FE_SET_PROPERTY:``
44 - This ioctl is used to set one or more frontend properties.
46 - This is the basic command to request the frontend to tune into
47 some frequency and to start decoding the digital TV signal.
49 - This call requires read/write access to the device.
53 At return, the values aren't updated to reflect the actual
54 parameters used. If the actual parameters are needed, an explicit
55 call to ``FE_GET_PROPERTY`` is needed.
57 - ``FE_GET_PROPERTY:``
59 - This ioctl is used to get properties and statistics from the
62 - No properties are changed, and statistics aren't reset.
64 - This call only requires read-only access to the device.
70 On success 0 is returned.
72 On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
