<para>This ioctl call returns an event if available. If an event is not available,
 the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking or non-blocking

 EWOULDBLOCK. In the former case, the call blocks until an event becomes
 available.</para>

<para>This ioctl call returns the current value of the system time counter (which is driven
 by a PES filter of type DMX_PES_PCR). Some hardware supports more than one
 STC, so you must specify which one by setting the num 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-&#x003E;stc /
