37 The NET_ADD_IF ioctl system call selects the Packet ID (PID) that
38 contains a TCP/IP traffic, the type of encapsulation to be used (MPE or
39 ULE) and the interface number for the new interface to be created. When
40 the system call successfully returns, a new virtual network interface is
43 The struct :ref:`dvb_net_if <dvb-net-if>`::ifnum field will be
44 filled with the number of the created interface.

50 =============================
54 .. flat-table:: struct dvb_net_if
69 - Packet ID (PID) of the MPEG-TS that contains data
75 - number of the DVB interface.
81 - Encapsulation type of the feed. It can be:
82 ``DVB_NET_FEEDTYPE_MPE`` for MPE encoding or
83 ``DVB_NET_FEEDTYPE_ULE`` for ULE encoding.
89 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
90 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
91 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
