22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
27
28``net_if``

31Description
32===========
33
34The NET_GET_IF ioctl uses the interface number given by the struct
35:c:type:`dvb_net_if`::ifnum field and fills the content of
36struct :c:type:`dvb_net_if` with the packet ID and
37encapsulation type used on such interface. If the interface was not
38created yet with :ref:`NET_ADD_IF <net>`, it will return -1 and fill
39the ``errno`` with ``EINVAL`` error code.
40
41Return Value
42============
43
44On success 0 is returned, and :c:type:`ca_slot_info` is filled.
45
46On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
47appropriately.

49The generic error codes are described at the
50:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
