Description
-----------
This ioctl is obsolete. Do not use in new drivers. For V4L2 decoders
this ioctl has been replaced by the
:ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` ioctl.
This ioctl commands the decoder. The ``video_command`` struct is a
subset of the ``v4l2_decoder_cmd`` struct, so refer to the
:ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` documentation for
more information.
Return Value
------------
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
