This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It it was originally written to support the European digital TV
|
||
|
|
standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to
|
||
|
|
it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- the Digital TV API version
|
||
|
|
(e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5);
|
||
|
|
- digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc);
|
||
|
|
- digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``);
|
||
|
|
- the European DVB standard.
