TODO: replace it to GFDL-1.1-or-later WITH no-invariant-sections .. _dmx_fread: ======================= Digital TV demux read() ======================= Name ---- Digital TV demux read() Synopsis -------- .. c:function:: size_t read(int fd, void *buf, size_t count) :name: dvb-dmx-read Arguments --------- ``fd`` File descriptor returned by a previous call to :c:func:`open() `. ``buf`` Buffer to be filled ``count`` Max number of bytes to read Description ----------- This system call returns filtered data, which might be section or Packetized Elementary Stream (PES) data. The filtered data is transferred from the driver’s internal circular buffer to ``buf``. The maximum amount of data to be transferred is implied by count. .. note:: if a section filter created with :c:type:`DMX_CHECK_CRC ` flag set, data that fails on CRC check will be silently ignored. Return Value ------------ On success 0 is returned. On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately. .. tabularcolumns:: |p{2.5cm}|p{15.0cm}| .. flat-table:: :header-rows: 0 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 16 - - ``EWOULDBLOCK`` - No data to return and ``O_NONBLOCK`` was specified. - - ``EOVERFLOW`` - The filtered data was not read from the buffer in due time, resulting in non-read data being lost. The buffer is flushed. - - ``ETIMEDOUT`` - The section was not loaded within the stated timeout period. See ioctl :ref:`DMX_SET_FILTER` for how to set a timeout. - - ``EFAULT`` - The driver failed to write to the callers buffer due to an invalid \*buf pointer. The generic error codes are described at the :ref:`Generic Error Codes ` chapter.
