The V4L and DVB API's are there for a long time. however, up to now, no efforts were done to merge them to kernel DocBook. This patch adds the current versions of the specs as an unique compendium. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>

<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>write()</function> writes up to
|
|
<parameter>count</parameter> bytes to the device referenced by the
|
|
file descriptor <parameter>fd</parameter> from the buffer starting at
|
|
<parameter>buf</parameter>. When the hardware outputs are not active
|
|
yet, this function enables them. When <parameter>count</parameter> is
|
|
zero, <function>write()</function> returns
|
|
<returnvalue>0</returnvalue> without any other effect.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>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.</para>

<title>Return Value</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>On success, the number of bytes written are returned. Zero
|
|
indicates nothing was written. On error, <returnvalue>-1</returnvalue>
|
|
is returned, and the <varname>errno</varname> variable is set
|
|
appropriately. In this case the next write will start at the beginning
|
|
of a new frame. Possible error codes are:</para>
