| |
| - int fd |
| |
| - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open(). |
| |
| - .. row 2 |
| |
| - int request |
| |
| - Equals :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND` for this |
| command. |

| |
| - Points to parameters for tuning operation. |
| |
| |
| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| This ioctl call starts a tuning operation using specified parameters. |
| The result of this call will be successful if the parameters were valid |
| and the tuning could be initiated. The result of the tuning operation in |
| itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see |
| documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and |
| FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND` |
| operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the |
| previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one. This command |
| requires read/write access to the device. |
| |
| |
| 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. |
