+DVB demux write()
+
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+.. cpp:function:: ssize_t write(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count)
+
+
+Arguments
+---------
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - int fd
+
+ - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - void \*buf
+
+ - Pointer to the buffer containing the Transport Stream.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - size_t count
+
+ - Size of buf.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This system call is only provided by the logical device
+/dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0, associated with the physical demux device that
+provides the actual DVR functionality. It is used for replay of a
+digitally recorded Transport Stream. Matching filters have to be defined
+in the corresponding physical demux device, /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0.
+The amount of data to be transferred is implied by count.
+
+
+Return Value
+------------
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - ``EWOULDBLOCK``
+
+ - No data was written. This might happen if O_NONBLOCK was
+ specified and there is no more buffer space available (if
+ O_NONBLOCK is not specified the function will block until buffer
+ space is available).
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - ``EBUSY``
+
+ - This error code indicates that there are conflicting requests. The
+ corresponding demux device is setup to receive data from the
+ front- end. Make sure that these filters are stopped and that the
+ filters with input set to DMX_IN_DVR are started.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - ``EBADF``
+
+ - fd is not a valid open file descriptor.
