Arguments
=========

``fd``

``ber``
    The bit error rate is stored into \*ber.

Description
===========

This ioctl call returns the bit error rate for the signal currently
received/demodulated by the front-end. For this command, read-only
access to the device is sufficient.

:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
