A timeout may be defined stating number of seconds +to wait for a section to be loaded. A value of 0 means that no timeout +should be applied. Finally there is a flag field where it is possible to +state whether a section should be CRC-checked, whether the filter should +be a ”one-shot” filter, i.e. if the filtering operation should be +stopped after the first section is received, and whether the filtering +operation should be started immediately (without waiting for a +:ref:`DMX_START` ioctl call). If a filter was previously set-up, this +filter will be canceled, and the receive buffer will be flushed. + + +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. |
