+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This system call opens a named video device (e.g.
+/dev/dvb/adapter0/video0) for subsequent use.
+
+When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The
+significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
+documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not
+affect the semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in
+blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa)
+using the F_SETFL command of the fcntl system call. This is a standard
+system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl. Only one
+user can open the Video Device in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to
+open the device in this mode will fail, and an error-code will be
+returned. If the Video Device is opened in O_RDONLY mode, the only
+ioctl call that can be used is VIDEO_GET_STATUS. All other call will
+return an error code.
