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_GET_EVENT
.. attention:: This ioctl is deprecated.
Synopsis
========
.. c:function:: int ioctl(int fd, FE_GET_EVENT, struct dvb_frontend_event *ev)
:name: FE_GET_EVENT
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <dvb-fe-open>`.
``ev``
Points to the location where the event, if any, is to be stored.
Description
===========
This ioctl call returns a frontend event if available. If an event is
not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is in blocking
or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails immediately
with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call blocks until
an event becomes available.
Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned.
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
.. flat-table::
:header-rows: 0
:stub-columns: 0
- .. row 1
- ``EWOULDBLOCK``
- There is no event pending, and the device is in non-blocking mode.
- .. row 2
- ``EOVERFLOW``
- Overflow in event queue - one or more events were lost.
Generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
