The filtered data is transferred from +the driver’s internal circular buffer to ``buf``. The maximum amount of data +to be transferred is implied by count. + +.. note:: + + if a section filter created with + :c:type:`DMX_CHECK_CRC <dmx_sct_filter_params>` flag set, + data that fails on CRC check will be silently ignored. + + +Return Value +------------ + +On success 0 is returned. + +On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{2.5cm}|p{15.0cm}| + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 16 + + - - ``EWOULDBLOCK`` + - No data to return and ``O_NONBLOCK`` was specified. + + - - ``EOVERFLOW`` + - The filtered data was not read from the buffer in due time, + resulting in non-read data being lost.
