In general read(2) is not guaranteed to return a complete record. For section reads from the demux device the amount of data returned will almost certainly be less than requested. I've never seen a section longer than a single TS packet and the recommended length for a read is 4096 bytes. The questions: are the v4l-dvb drivers guaranteed to return a complete section for each read? If not, is there a preferred method to reassemble split sections? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
