24 File descriptor returned by open().
27 Mask with channels to enable tx. Channel 0 is the least significant bit.
33 Some IR TX devices have multiple output channels, in such case,
34 :ref:`LIRC_CAN_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK <LIRC-CAN-SET-TRANSMITTER-MASK>` is
35 returned via :ref:`LIRC_GET_FEATURES` and this ioctl sets what channels will
38 This ioctl enables the given set of transmitters. The first transmitter is
39 encoded by the least significant bit and so on.
41 When an invalid bit mask is given, i.e. a bit is set, even though the device
42 does not have so many transitters, then this ioctl returns the number of
43 available transitters and does nothing otherwise.
49 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
50 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
51 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
