The result of the tuning operation in 39itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see 40documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and 41FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND` 42operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the 43previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one. This command 44requires read/write access to the device. 45 46Return Value 47============ 48 49On success 0 is returned. 50 51On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set 52appropriately. 53 54.. tabularcolumns:: |p{2.5cm}|p{15.0cm}| 55 56.. flat-table:: 57 :header-rows: 0 58 :stub-columns: 0 59 :widths: 1 16 60 61 - .. row 1 62 63 - ``EINVAL`` 64 65 - Maximum supported symbol rate reached. 66 67Generic error codes are described at the 68:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
