268c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
278c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci``fd``
288c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
298c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
308c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci``argp``
318c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci    Pointer to struct :c:type:`dvb_buffer`.

338c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciDescription
348c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci===========
358c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
368c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciThis ioctl is part of the mmap streaming I/O method. It can
378c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cibe used to query the status of a buffer at any time after buffers have
388c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cibeen allocated with the :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` ioctl.
398c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
408c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciApplications set the ``index`` field. Valid index numbers range from zero
418c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cito the number of buffers allocated with :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS`
428c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci(struct :c:type:`dvb_requestbuffers` ``count``) minus one.
438c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
448c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciAfter calling :ref:`DMX_QUERYBUF` with a pointer to this structure,
458c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cidrivers return an error code or fill the rest of the structure.
468c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
478c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciOn success, the ``offset`` will contain the offset of the buffer from the
488c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cistart of the device memory, the ``length`` field its size, and the
498c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci``bytesused`` the number of bytes occupied by data in the buffer (payload).
508c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
518c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciReturn Value
528c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci============
538c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
548c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciOn success 0 is returned, the ``offset`` will contain the offset of the
558c2ecf20Sopenharmony_cibuffer from the start of the device memory, the ``length`` field its size,
568c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciand the ``bytesused`` the number of bytes occupied by data in the buffer
578c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci(payload).
588c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
598c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciOn error it returns -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
608c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciappropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
618c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
628c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci
638c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ciEINVAL
648c2ecf20Sopenharmony_ci    The ``index`` is out of bounds.
