This ioctl call allows to remove a PID when multiple PIDs are set on a
transport stream filter, e. g. a filter previously set up with output
equal to :c:type:`DMX_OUT_TSDEMUX_TAP <dmx_output>`, created via either
:ref:`DMX_SET_PES_FILTER` or :ref:`DMX_ADD_PID`.

On success 0 is returned.

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

The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
