Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index, as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there. While here, improve the documentation, marking the deprecated ioctls, and making the non-deprecated ones more like the rest of the media book. Also, add a notice for ioctls that still require documentation. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

NET_ADD_IF - Creates a new network interface for a given Packet ID.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, NET_ADD_IF, struct dvb_net_if *net_if )
|
|
:name: NET_ADD_IF
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <frontend_f_open>`.
|
|
|
|
``net_if``
|
|
pointer to struct :ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The NET_ADD_IF ioctl system call selects the Packet ID (PID) that
|
|
contains a TCP/IP traffic, the type of encapsulation to be used (MPE or
|
|
ULE) and the interface number for the new interface to be created. When
|
|
the system call successfully returns, a new virtual network interface is
|
|
created.
|
|
|
|
The struct :ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>`::ifnum field will be
|
|
filled with the number of the created interface.
