doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also,
as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's
rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it
clearer.
No functional changes.

This ioctl was also supported by the +V4L2 ivtv driver, but that has been replaced by the ivtv-specific +``IVTV_IOC_PASSTHROUGH_MODE`` ioctl. + +This ioctl call informs the video device which source shall be used for +the input data. The possible sources are demux or memory. If memory is +selected, the data is fed to the video device through the write command. + + +Return Value +------------ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. |
