Description
===========
All DVB frontend devices support the ``FE_GET_INFO`` ioctl. It is used
to identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to
obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
returns an error.
frontend capabilities

Capabilities describe what a frontend can do. Some capabilities are
supported only on some specific frontend types.
The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.
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.
