From dfcf4f9d97eec997283e41cef2d2b6956c32fecd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2011 11:37:58 -0300 Subject: [media] DocBook: Use the generic error code page also for MC API Instead of having their own generic error codes at the MC API, move its section to the generic one and be sure that all media ioctl's will point to it.
