This can help lircd in +detecting that a IR signal is finished and can speed up the decoding +process. Returns an integer value with the minimum/maximum timeout +that can be set. + +.. note:: + + Some devices have a fixed timeout, in that case + both ioctls will return the same value even though the timeout + cannot be changed via :ref:`LIRC_SET_REC_TIMEOUT`. + + +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. |
