Mauro Carvalho Chehab 54f38fcae5 media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee38 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide").

As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.

Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.

Name
====
FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl(int fd, FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD, unsigned long cmd)
:name: FE_DISHNETWORK_SEND_LEGACY_CMD
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-fe-open>`.
``cmd``
Sends the specified raw cmd to the dish via DISEqC.
Description
===========
.. warning::
This is a very obscure legacy command, used only at stv0299
driver. Should not be used on newer drivers.
It provides a non-standard method for selecting Diseqc voltage on the
frontend, for Dish Network legacy switches.
As support for this ioctl were added in 2004, this means that such
dishes were already legacy in 2004.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned.
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
Generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
