Name
====

LIRC_GET_FEATURES - Get the underlying hardware device's features

Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, __u32 *features)

Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by open().

``request``
    LIRC_GET_FEATURES

``features``
    Bitmask with the LIRC features.


Description
===========


Get the underlying hardware device's features. If a driver does not
announce support of certain features, calling of the corresponding ioctls
is undefined.

LIRC features
=============

.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-RAW:

``LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW``

    Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.

.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-PULSE:

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.
