<title>Description</title>
<para>All DVB frontend devices support the
<constant>FE_GET_INFO</constant> ioctl. It is used to identify
kernel devices compatible with this specification and to obtain
information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl takes a
pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver. When the
driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl returns an error.
