51-----------
52
53This ioctl is for DVB devices only. This ioctl was also supported by the
54V4L2 ivtv driver, but that has been replaced by the ivtv-specific
55``IVTV_IOC_PASSTHROUGH_MODE`` ioctl.
56
57This ioctl call informs the video device which source shall be used for
58the input data. The possible sources are demux or memory. If memory is
59selected, the data is fed to the video device through the write command.
