     20``int ioctl(int fd, DMX_GET_STC, struct dmx_stc *stc)``
     21
     22Arguments
     23---------
     24
     25``fd``
     26    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
     27
     28``stc``
     29    Pointer to :c:type:`dmx_stc` where the stc data is to be stored.
     30
     31Description
     32-----------
     33
     34This ioctl call returns the current value of the system time counter
     35(which is driven by a PES filter of type :c:type:`DMX_PES_PCR <dmx_ts_pes>`).
     36Some hardware supports more than one STC, so you must specify which one by
     37setting the :c:type:`num <dmx_stc>` field of stc before the ioctl (range 0...n).
     38The result is returned in form of a ratio with a 64 bit numerator
     39and a 32 bit denominator, so the real 90kHz STC value is
     40``stc->stc / stc->base``.
     41
     42Return Value
     43------------
     44
     45On success 0 is returned.
     46
     47On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
     48appropriately.
