+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl tells the driver which kind of stream to expect being written
+to it. If this call is not used the default of video PES is used. Some
+drivers might not support this call and always expect PES.
+
+
+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.
