<para>DESCRIPTION

<informaltable><tgroup cols="1"><tbody><row><entry
align="char">
<para>This ioctl call returns the current value of the system time counter (which is driven
by a PES filter of type DMX_PES_PCR). Some hardware supports more than one
STC, so you must specify which one by setting the num field of stc before the ioctl
(range 0...n). The result is returned in form of a ratio with a 64 bit numerator
and a 32 bit denominator, so the real 90kHz STC value is stc->stc /
stc->base
