| Part II - Digital TV API | |
| ######################## | |
| .. note:: | |
| This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**. | |
| It it was originally written to support the European digital TV | |
| standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards. | |
| In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to | |
| it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**. | |
| The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for: | |
| - the Digital TV API version | |
| (e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5); | |
| - digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc); | |
| - digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``); | |
| - the European DVB standard. | |
| **Version 5.10** | |
