ioctl LIRC_GET_LENGTH
*********************
Name
====
LIRC_GET_LENGTH - Retrieves the code length in bits.
Synopsis
========
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, __u32 *length )
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by open().
``request``
LIRC_GET_LENGTH
``length``
length, in bits
Description
===========
Retrieves the code length in bits (only for ``LIRC-MODE-LIRCCODE``).
Reads on the device must be done in blocks matching the bit count.
The bit could should be rounded up so that it matches full bytes.
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.
