- <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>

- <para>Request-specific error codes are listed in the

- <para>When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails,
- the parameter remains unmodified.</para>
