[PATCH 4/4] [media] DocBook: document DVB DMX_[ADD|REMOVE]_PID

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Those ioctls were added back in 2009, at changeset 1cb662a3144
but were never documented. Fortunately, the original commit is
good enough to serve as the basis for documenting it. Also, the
support for it is done by dmxdev implementation.

So, add a proper documentation for it, based on the description
of the original changeset.
