DMX_GET_STC
Synopsis
--------
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, DMX_GET_STC, struct dmx_stc *stc)
:name: DMX_GET_STC
Arguments
---------
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-dmx-open>`.
``stc``
Pointer to :c:type:`dmx_stc` where the stc data is to be stored.
Description
-----------
This ioctl call returns the current value of the system time counter
(which is driven by a PES filter of type :c:type:`DMX_PES_PCR <dmx_ts_pes>`).
Some hardware supports more than one STC, so you must specify which one by
setting the :c:type:`num <dmx_stc>` field of stc before the ioctl (range 0...n).
The result is returned in form of a ratio with a 64 bit numerator
and a 32 bit denominator, so the real 90kHz STC value is
``stc->stc / stc->base``.
Return Value
------------
On success 0 is returned.
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
