<title>Description</title>
<para>All DVB frontend devices support the
<constant>FE_READ_STATUS</constant> ioctl. It is used to check about the
locking status of the frontend after being tuned. The ioctl takes a
pointer to an integer where the status will be written.
</para>
<para>NOTE: the size of status is actually sizeof(enum fe_status), with varies
according with the architecture. This needs to be fixed in the future.</para>
