+FE_READ_BER
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl(int fd, int request = FE_READ_BER, uint32_t *ber)
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+.. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - int fd
+
+ - File descriptor returned by a previous call to open().
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - int request
+
+ - Equals :ref:`FE_READ_BER` for this command.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - uint32_t \*ber
+
+ - The bit error rate is stored into \*ber.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl call returns the bit error rate for the signal currently
+received/demodulated by the front-end. For this command, read-only
+access to the device is sufficient.
+
+
+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.
