+
+Name
+====
+
+LIRC_GET_MIN_TIMEOUT / LIRC_GET_MAX_TIMEOUT - Obtain the possible timeout
+range for IR receive.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, __u32 *timeout)
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by open().
+
+``request``
+ LIRC_GET_MIN_TIMEOUT or LIRC_GET_MAX_TIMEOUT
+
+``timeout``
+ Timeout, in microseconds.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Some devices have internal timers that can be used to detect when
+there's no IR activity for a long time. 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.
