+Description
+===========
+
+All Digital TV frontend devices support the :ref:`FE_GET_INFO` ioctl. It is
+used to identify kernel devices compatible with this specification and to
+obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
+takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
+When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
+returns an error.
+
+
+frontend capabilities
+=====================
+
+Capabilities describe what a frontend can do. Some capabilities are
+supported only on some specific frontend types.
+
+The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately.
+
+Generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
