control.

This ioctl call asks the Video Device to return the number of displayed
frames since the decoder was started.


Return Value
------------

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
