From d27518ca0c6a33ecc11b7172fb68eb730301a841 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Thu, 28 May 2015 14:43:06 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] DocBook: fix FE_READ_STATUS argument description What's written there about the arguments for this ioctl is bogus: it doesn't return an enum (or a typedef) for enum fe_status. Instead, it returns a bitmask with the values defined by enum fe_status. Also, the size of the integer returned is not 16 bits, but, instead, sizeof(fe_status_t), e. g. sizeof(enum), with is arch-dependent. This should of course be fixed, but this should be done on a separate patch.
