File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-dmx-open>`.
``stc``
- Pointer to the location where the stc is to be stored.
+ Pointer to :c:type:`dmx_stc` where the stc data 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 .
