+Description
+-----------
+
+This ioctl is for DVB devices only. To get events from a V4L2 decoder
+use the V4L2 :ref:`VIDIOC_DQEVENT` ioctl instead.
+
+This ioctl call returns an event of type video_event if available. If
+an event is not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is
+in blocking or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails
+immediately with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call
+blocks until an event becomes available. The standard Linux poll()
+and/or select() system calls can be used with the device file descriptor
+to watch for new events. For select(), the file descriptor should be
+included in the exceptfds argument, and for poll(), POLLPRI should be
+specified as the wake-up condition. Read-only permissions are sufficient
+for this ioctl call.
+
+
+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.

+
+       -  ``EWOULDBLOCK``
+
+       -  There is no event pending, and the device is in non-blocking mode.

+    -  .. row 2
+
+       -  ``EOVERFLOW``
+
+       -  Overflow in event queue - one or more events were lost.
