22Arguments
23=========

25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by open().
27
28``features``
29    Bitmask with the LIRC features.

31Description
32===========
33
34Get the underlying hardware device's features. If a driver does not
35announce support of certain features, calling of the corresponding ioctls
36is undefined.

41.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-RAW:
42
43``LIRC_CAN_REC_RAW``
44
45    Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
46
47.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-PULSE:
48
49``LIRC_CAN_REC_PULSE``
50
51    Unused. Kept just to avoid breaking uAPI.
52    :ref:`LIRC_MODE_PULSE <lirc-mode-pulse>` can only be used for transmitting.
53
54.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-MODE2:
55
56``LIRC_CAN_REC_MODE2``
57
58    This is raw IR driver for receiving. This means that
59    :ref:`LIRC_MODE_MODE2 <lirc-mode-MODE2>` is used. This also implies
60    that :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-SCANCODE>` is also supported,
61    as long as the kernel is recent enough. Use the

70.. _LIRC-CAN-REC-SCANCODE:
71
72``LIRC_CAN_REC_SCANCODE``
73
74    This is a scancode driver for receiving. This means that
75    :ref:`LIRC_MODE_SCANCODE <lirc-mode-SCANCODE>` is used.
76
77.. _LIRC-CAN-SET-SEND-CARRIER:
