Synopsis

.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request = DMX_SET_FILTER, struct dmx_sct_filter_params *params)
Arguments
---------
.. flat-table::
:header-rows: 0
:stub-columns: 0
- .. row 1
- int fd
- File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().
- .. row 2
- int request
- Equals DMX_SET_FILTER for this command.
- .. row 3
- struct dmx_sct_filter_params \*params
- Pointer to structure containing filter parameters.
Description
-----------
This ioctl call sets up a filter according to the filter and mask
parameters provided. A timeout may be defined stating number of seconds
to wait for a section to be loaded. A value of 0 means that no timeout
should be applied. Finally there is a flag field where it is possible to
state whether a section should be CRC-checked, whether the filter should
be a one-shot filter, i.e. if the filtering operation should be
stopped after the first section is received, and whether the filtering
operation should be started immediately (without waiting for a
DMX_START ioctl call). If a filter was previously set-up, this filter
will be canceled, and the receive buffer will be flushed.
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.
