obtain information about driver and hardware capabilities. The ioctl
takes a pointer to dvb_frontend_info which is filled by the driver.
When the driver is not compatible with this specification the ioctl
returns an error.

supported only on some specific frontend types.
The frontend capabilities are described at :c:type:`fe_caps`.

On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately.
