24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by open().

32Description
33===========
34
35Some receivers are equipped with special wide band receiver which is
36intended to be used to learn output of existing remote. This ioctl
37allows enabling or disabling it.
38
39This might be useful of receivers that have otherwise narrow band receiver
40that prevents them to be used with some remotes. Wide band receiver might
41also be more precise. On the other hand its disadvantage it usually
42reduced range of reception.
43
44.. note::
45
46    Wide band receiver might be implicitly enabled if you enable
47    carrier reports. In that case it will be disabled as soon as you disable
48    carrier reports. Trying to disable wide band receiver while carrier
49    reports are active will do nothing.
