| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is |
| intended to be used to learn output of existing remote. This ioctl |
| allows enabling or disabling it. |
| |
| This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver |
| that prevents them to be used with some remotes. Wide band receiver might |
| also be more precise. On the other hand its disadvantage it usually |
| reduced range of reception. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| Wide band receiver might be implictly enabled if you enable |
| carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable |
| carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier |
| reports are active will do nothing. |
| |
| |
| Return Value |
| ============ |
| |
| On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set |
| appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the |
| :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. |
