When the hardware outputs are not active +yet, this function enables them. When count is +zero, write() returns +0 without any other effect. + + When the application does not provide more data in time, the +previous video frame, raw VBI image, sliced VPS or WSS data is +displayed again. Sliced Teletext or Closed Caption data is not +repeated, the driver inserts a blank line instead. + + + + Return Value + + On success, the number of bytes written are returned. Zero +indicates nothing was written. On error, -1 +is returned, and the errno variable is set +appropriately. In this case the next write will start at the beginning +of a new frame.
