NET_GET_IF - Read the configuration data of an interface created via - :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`.
Synopsis

.. c:macro:: NET_GET_IF
``int ioctl(int fd, NET_GET_IF, struct dvb_net_if *net_if)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.

Description
===========
The NET_GET_IF ioctl uses the interface number given by the struct
:c:type:`dvb_net_if`::ifnum field and fills the content of
struct :c:type:`dvb_net_if` with the packet ID and
encapsulation type used on such interface. If the interface was not
created yet with :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`, it will return -1 and fill
the ``errno`` with ``EINVAL`` error code.
Return Value

On success 0 is returned, and :c:type:`ca_slot_info` is filled.
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
