<para>The <function>ioctl()</function> function manipulates media device

parameters. The argument <parameter>fd</parameter> must be an open file

descriptor.</para>

<para>The ioctl <parameter>request</parameter> code specifies the media
|
||
|
|
function to be called. It has encoded in it whether the argument is an

input, output or read/write parameter, and the size of the argument
|
||
|
|
<parameter>argp</parameter> in bytes.</para>
|

|
|
<para>Macros and structures definitions specifying media ioctl requests and
|
||
|
|
their parameters are located in the media.h header file. All media ioctl
