Description
===========
All Digital TV frontend devices support the :ref:`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.

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`.
