When this ioctl is called the driver 27 will output the current device status to the kernel log. This is 28 particular useful when dealing with problems like no sound, no video 29 and incorrectly tuned channels. Also many modern devices autodetect 30 video and audio standards and this ioctl will report what the device 31 thinks what the standard is. Mismatches may give an indication where 32 the problem is.</para> 33 34 <para>This ioctl is optional and not all drivers support it.
