User buffers are allocated by applications themselves, and this +ioctl is merely used to switch the driver into user pointer I/O mode and +to setup some internal structures. Similarly, DMABUF buffers are +allocated by applications through a device driver, and this ioctl only +configures the driver into DMABUF I/O mode without performing any direct +allocation. + +The ``reserved`` array must be zeroed before calling it. + +To allocate device buffers applications initialize all fields of the +struct :c:type:`dmx_requestbuffers` structure. They set the ``count`` field +to the desired number of buffers, and ``size`` to the size of each +buffer. + +When the ioctl is called with a pointer to this structure, the driver will +attempt to allocate the requested number of buffers and it stores the actual +number allocated in the ``count`` field. The ``count`` can be smaller than the number requested, even zero, when the driver runs out of free memory. A larger +number is also possible when the driver requires more buffers to +function correctly. The actual allocated buffer size can is returned +at ``size``, and can be smaller than what's requested. + +When this I/O method is not supported, the ioctl returns an ``EOPNOTSUPP`` +error code. + +Applications can call :ref:`DMX_REQBUFS` again to change the number of +buffers, however this cannot succeed when any buffers are still mapped. +A ``count`` value of zero frees all buffers, after aborting or finishing +any DMA in progress. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately.
