+Synopsis
+--------
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl(fd, DMX_GET_PES_PIDS, __u16 pids[5])
+ :name: DMX_GET_PES_PIDS
+
+Arguments
+---------
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-dmx-open>`.
+
+``pids``
+ Array used to store 5 Program IDs.
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl allows to query a DVB device to return the first PID used
+by audio, video, textext, subtitle and PCR programs on a given service.
+They're stored as:
+
+======================= ======== =======================================
+PID element position content
+======================= ======== =======================================
+pids[DMX_PES_AUDIO] 0 first audio PID
+pids[DMX_PES_VIDEO] 1 first video PID
+pids[DMX_PES_TELETEXT] 2 first teletext PID
+pids[DMX_PES_SUBTITLE] 3 first subtitle PID
+pids[DMX_PES_PCR] 4 first Program Clock Reference PID
+======================= ======== =======================================
+
+
+.. note::
+
+ A value equal to 0xffff means that the PID was not filled by the
+ Kernel.
+
+
+Return Value
+------------
+
+On success 0 is returned.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately.
+
+The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
