This is done through 22 ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/net?`` device node. The data will be available via 23 virtual ``dvb?_?`` network interfaces, and will be controlled/routed via 24 the standard ip tools (like ip, route, netstat, ifconfig, etc). 25 26 Data types and ioctl definitions are defined via ``linux/dvb/net.h`` 27 header. 28 29 30 .. _net_fcalls: 31 32 Digital TV net Function Calls 33 ############################# 34 35 .. toctree:: 36 :maxdepth: 1 37 38 net-types 39 net-add-if 40 net-remove-if 41 net-get-if
