Channel 0 is the least significant bit. + + +Description +=========== + +Some IR TX devices have multiple output channels, in such case, +:ref:`LIRC_CAN_SET_TRANSMITTER_MASK <LIRC-CAN-SET-TRANSMITTER-MASK>` is +returned via :ref:`LIRC_GET_FEATURES` and this ioctl sets what channels will +send IR codes. + +This ioctl enables the given set of transmitters. The first transmitter is +encoded by the least significant bit and so on. + +When an invalid bit mask is given, i.e. a bit is set, even though the device +does not have so many transitters, then this ioctl returns the number of +available transitters and does nothing otherwise. + + +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. |
