5.3.3. ioctl LIRC_GET_FEATURES

5.3.3.1. Name

LIRC_GET_FEATURES - Get the underlying hardware device’s features

5.3.3.2. Synopsis

int ioctl(int fd, LIRC_GET_FEATURES, __u32 *features)

5.3.3.3. Arguments

fd

File descriptor returned by open().

features

Bitmask with the LIRC features.

5.3.3.4. 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.

5.3.3.5. LIRC features

LIRC_CAN_REC_MODE2

The driver is capable of receiving using LIRC_MODE_MODE2.

LIRC_CAN_REC_LIRCCODE

The driver is capable of receiving using LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE.

LIRC_CAN_SET_SEND_CARRIER

The driver supports changing the modulation frequency via ioctl LIRC_SET_SEND_CARRIER.

LIRC_CAN_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE

The driver supports changing the duty cycle using ioctl LIRC_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE.

LIRC_CAN_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK

The driver supports changing the active transmitter(s) using ioctl LIRC_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK.

LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_CARRIER

The driver supports setting the receive carrier frequency using ioctl LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER.

LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_DUTY_CYCLE_RANGE

Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.

LIRC_CAN_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE

The driver supports ioctl LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE.

LIRC_CAN_USE_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER

The driver supports learning mode using ioctl LIRC_SET_WIDEBAND_RECEIVER.

LIRC_CAN_NOTIFY_DECODE

Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.

LIRC_CAN_SEND_RAW

Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.

LIRC_CAN_SEND_PULSE

The driver supports sending using LIRC_MODE_PULSE.

LIRC_CAN_SEND_MODE2

The driver supports sending using LIRC_MODE_MODE2.

LIRC_CAN_SEND_LIRCCODE

The driver supports sending codes (also called as IR blasting or IR TX).

5.3.3.6. 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 Generic Error Codes chapter.
