FE_GET_EVENT
.. attention:: This ioctl is deprecated.
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: FE_GET_EVENT
``int ioctl(int fd, FE_GET_EVENT, struct dvb_frontend_event *ev)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
``ev``
Points to the location where the event, if any, is to be stored.
Description
===========
This ioctl call returns a frontend event if available. If an event is
not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking
or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately
with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call blocks until
an event becomes available.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned.
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
