<title>Description</title>
<para>The <function>ioctl()</function> function manipulates media device
parameters. The argument <parameter>fd</parameter> must be an open file
descriptor.</para>
<para>The ioctl <parameter>request</parameter> code specifies the media
function to be called. It has encoded in it whether the argument is an
input, output or read/write parameter, and the size of the argument
<parameter>argp</parameter> in bytes.</para>
<para>Macros and structures definitions specifying media ioctl requests and
their parameters are located in the media.h header file. All media ioctl
requests, their respective function and parameters are specified in
<xref linkend="media-user-func" />.</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
&return-value;
<para>Request-specific error codes are listed in the
individual requests descriptions.</para>
<para>When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails,
the parameter remains unmodified.</para>
