2016-07-29doc-rst: Remove the media docbookMauro Carvalho Chehab1-269/+0
Now that all media documentation was converted to Sphinx, we should get rid of the old DocBook one, as we don't want people to submit patches against the old stuff.

2015-06-08[media] DocBook: Use constant tag for monospaced fontsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
As reminded by Jonathan, several places where emphasys role="tt" were used are actually trying to change the font to monospaced. We do that, on other places, by using the constant tag. So, use it here too. Reported-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

2015-06-01[media] DocBook: some fixes for DVB FE open()Mauro Carvalho Chehab1-12/+16
The changeset dc9ef7d11207 change the open() ioctl documentation to match the V4L2 open(). However, some cut-and-pasted stuff doesn't match what actually happens at the DVB core. So, fix the documentation entry to be more accurate with the DVB frontend open() specifics. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

2015-05-30[media] DocBook: Provide a high-level description for DVB frontendMauro Carvalho Chehab1-6/+16
Instead of just showing ioctls, let's add an introdutory text briefly explaining the DVB frontend API. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-05-30[media] DocBook: better organize the function descriptions for frontendMauro Carvalho Chehab1-4/+3
Move the function ioctl definitions to the end of the chapter, at their importance. That makes the document better organized, as the DVB frontend system call index will look like: open() close() ioctl FE_GET_INFO — Query DVB frontend capabilities and returns information about the front-end. This call only requires read-only access to the device ioctl FE_READ_STATUS — Returns status information about the front-end. This call only requires read-only access to the device ioctl FE_SET_PROPERTY, FE_GET_PROPERTY — FE_SET_PROPERTY sets one or more frontend properties. FE_GET_PROPERTY returns one or more frontend properties. ioctl FE_DISEQC_RESET_OVERLOAD — Restores the power to the antenna subsystem, if it was powered off due to power overload. ioctl FE_DISEQC_SEND_MASTER_CMD — Sends a DiSEqC command ioctl FE_DISEQC_RECV_SLAVE_REPLY — Receives reply from a DiSEqC 2.0 command ioctl FE_DISEQC_SEND_BURST — Sends a 22KHz tone burst for 2x1 mini DiSEqC satellite selection. ioctl FE_SET_TONE — Sets/resets the generation of the continuous 22kHz tone. ioctl FE_SET_VOLTAGE — Allow setting the DC level sent to the antenna subsystem. ioctl FE_ENABLE_HIGH_LNB_VOLTAGE — Select output DC level between normal LNBf voltages or higher LNBf voltages. ioctl FE_SET_FRONTEND_TUNE_MODE — Allow setting tuner mode flags to the frontend.

2015-05-30[media] DocBook: better document FE_SET_VOLTAGE ioctlMauro Carvalho Chehab1-61/+1
Use the proper format for FE_SET_VOLTAGE documentation and fix the documentation. The description for the enum is not 100%, and it is missing the voltage off value. Also, it is better to keep the enum description together with the ioctl, as both are used together. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

2015-05-30[media] DocBook: Rename ioctl xml filesMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
for the xml files describing ioctls, use the same nomenclature as on V4L2: the ioctl name, in lower case, using - instead of _. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-05-30[media] DocBook: move DVB properties to happen earlier at the documentMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
The DVBv5 API uses DVB properties as the main way to set the frontend and collect statistics. Move the definition to happen earlier, in order to reflect its importance. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-05-30[media] DocBook: improve documentation for FE_READ_STATUSMauro Carvalho Chehab1-109/+10
Move the ioctl and enum fe_status to a separate xml file and put it into a better format. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-05-30[media] DocBook: move FE_GET_INFO to a separate xml fileMauro Carvalho Chehab1-265/+1
Keeping everything altogether makes harder to reorganize the DocBook. So, move the FE_GET_INFO ioctl and the associated structures into a separate file. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-05-30[media] DocBook: reformat FE_GET_INFO ioctl documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-107/+267
The DVB part of the docbook has a completely different format than the V4L2 part, as it was written as a separate document. As the V4L2 documentation is on better shape, and its format allows adding more information, let's use it for FE_GET_INFO and gradually update the non-legacy DVB ioctls using the new format.

2015-05-30[media] DocBook: move DVBv3 frontend bits to a separate sectionMauro Carvalho Chehab1-590/+15
Although the recommended usage is the DVBv5 API calls, the documentation doesn't make it clear about what's the recommended calls and what's legacy. So, move the legacy API bits to a separate xml, putting them into a new section. Please notice that more changes are needed, since some of the bits there are cross-referenced elsewhere.

2015-05-30[media] DocBook: fix emphasis at the DVB documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
Currently, it is using 'role="tt"', but this is not defined at the DocBook 4.5 spec. The net result is that no emphasis happens. So, replace them to bold emphasis. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

2013-01-24[media] dvb: Add DVBv5 statistics propertiesMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
The DVBv3 statistics parameters are limited on several ways: - It doesn't provide any way to indicate the used measure, so userspace need to guess how to calculate/use it; - Only a limited set of stats are supported; - Can't be called in a way to require them to be filled all at once (atomic reads from the hardware), with may cause troubles on interpreting them on userspace; - On some OFDM delivery systems, the carriers can be independently modulated, having different properties. Currently, there's no way to report per-layer stats. To address the above issues, adding a new DVBv5-based stats API. While here, correct inner code nomenclature on a few places.

The old way of setting delivery system parameters were to use an union with specific per-system parameters.
