+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl is for Digital TV devices only. To control a V4L2 decoder use the
+V4L2 :ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` instead.
+
+This ioctl call suspends the live video stream being played. Decoding
+and playing are frozen. It is then possible to restart the decoding and
+playing process of the video stream using the VIDEO_CONTINUE command.
+If VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY is selected in the ioctl call
+VIDEO_SELECT_SOURCE, the Digital TV subsystem will not decode any more data
+until the ioctl call VIDEO_CONTINUE or VIDEO_PLAY is performed.
+
+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.
