- Undocumented.
+ Array used to store 5 Program IDs.
Description
-----------
-.. note:: This ioctl is undocumented. Documentation is welcome.
+This ioctl allows to query a DVB device to return the first PID used
+by audio, video, textext, subtitle and PCR programs on a given service.
+They're stored as:
+
+======================= ======== =======================================
+PID element position content
+======================= ======== =======================================
+pids[DMX_PES_AUDIO] 0 first audio PID
+pids[DMX_PES_VIDEO] 1 first video PID
+pids[DMX_PES_TELETEXT] 2 first teletext PID
+pids[DMX_PES_SUBTITLE] 3 first subtitle PID
+pids[DMX_PES_PCR] 4 first Program Clock Reference PID
+======================= ======== =======================================
+
+
+.. note::
+
+ A value equal to 0xffff means that the PID was not filled by the
+ Kernel.
