+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request = DMX_GET_STC, struct dmx_stc *stc)
+
+
+Arguments
+---------
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - int fd
+
+ - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - int request
+
+ - Equals DMX_GET_STC for this command.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - struct dmx_stc \*stc
+
+ - Pointer to the location where the stc is to be stored.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl call returns the current value of the system time counter
+(which is driven by a PES filter of type DMX_PES_PCR). Some hardware
+supports more than one STC, so you must specify which one by setting the
+num field of stc before the ioctl (range 0...n). The result is returned
+in form of a ratio with a 64 bit numerator and a 32 bit denominator, so
+the real 90kHz STC value is stc->stc / stc->base .
+
+
+Return Value
+------------
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
