<title>DVB Frontend API</title>
<para>The DVB frontend device controls the tuner and DVB demodulator
hardware. It can be accessed through <emphasis
role="tt">/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0</emphasis>. Data types and and
ioctl definitions can be accessed by including <emphasis
role="tt">linux/dvb/frontend.h</emphasis> in your application.</para>
<para>DVB frontends come in three varieties: DVB-S (satellite), DVB-C
(cable) and DVB-T (terrestrial). Transmission via the internet (DVB-IP)
is not yet handled by this API but a future extension is possible. For
DVB-S the frontend device also supports satellite equipment control
(SEC) via DiSEqC and V-SEC protocols. The DiSEqC (digital SEC)
specification is available from
<ulink url="http://www.eutelsat.com/satellites/4_5_5.html">Eutelsat</ulink>.</para>
<para>Note that the DVB API may also be used for MPEG decoder-only PCI
cards, in which case there exists no frontend device.</para>

<title>frontend parameters</title>
<para>The kind of parameters passed to the frontend device for tuning depend on
the kind of hardware you are using. All kinds of parameters are combined as an
union in the FrontendParameters structure:</para>
<programlisting>

<para>In the case of QPSK frontends the <constant>Frequency</constant> field specifies the intermediate
frequency, i.e. the offset which is effectively added to the local oscillator frequency (LOF) of
the LNB. The intermediate frequency has to be specified in units of kHz. For QAM and
OFDM frontends the Frequency specifies the absolute frequency and is given in
Hz.
</para>
<para>The Inversion field can take one of these values:
</para>
<programlisting>
typedef enum fe_spectral_inversion {
INVERSION_OFF,
INVERSION_ON,
INVERSION_AUTO
} fe_spectral_inversion_t;
</programlisting>
<para>It indicates if spectral inversion should be presumed or not. In the automatic setting
(<constant>INVERSION_AUTO</constant>) the hardware will try to figure out the correct setting by
itself.
</para>
<para>The possible values for the <constant>FEC_inner</constant> field are
</para>
<programlisting>
typedef enum fe_code_rate {
FEC_NONE = 0,
FEC_1_2,

<para>which correspond to error correction rates of 1/2, 2/3, etc., no error correction or auto
detection.
</para>
<para>For cable and terrestrial frontends (QAM and OFDM) one also has to specify the quadrature
modulation mode which can be one of the following:

<para>DESCRIPTION</para>
<informaltable><tgroup cols="1"><tbody><row>
<entry align="char">
<para>This system call opens a named frontend device (/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0)
for subsequent use. Usually the first thing to do after a successful open is to
find out the frontend type with <link linkend="FE_GET_INFO">FE_GET_INFO</link>.</para>
<para>The device can be opened in read-only mode, which only allows monitoring of
device status and statistics, or read/write mode, which allows any kind of use
(e.g. performing tuning operations.)
</para>
<para>In a system with multiple front-ends, it is usually the case that multiple devices
cannot be open in read/write mode simultaneously. As long as a front-end
device is opened in read/write mode, other open() calls in read/write mode will
either fail or block, depending on whether non-blocking or blocking mode was
specified. A front-end 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. When an open() call has succeeded, the device will be ready
for use in the specified mode. This implies that the corresponding hardware is
powered up, and that other front-ends may have been powered down to make
that possible.</para>

<para>The standard Linux poll() and/or select() system calls can be used with the
device file descriptor to watch for new events. For select(), the file descriptor
should be included in the exceptfds argument, and for poll(), POLLPRI should
be specified as the wake-up condition. Since the event queue allocated is
rather small (room for 8 events), the queue must be serviced regularly to avoid
overflow. If an overflow happens, the oldest event is discarded from the queue,
and an error (EOVERFLOW) occurs the next time the queue is read. After
reporting the error condition in this fashion, subsequent

Additionally, there will be no automatic monitoring of the lock status, and hence no frontend events will be generated.
