0012 This API is also known as Linux **DVB API**.
0013
0014 It it was originally written to support the European digital TV
0015 standard (DVB), and later extended to support all digital TV standards.
0016
0017 In order to avoid confusion, within this document, it was opted to refer to
0018 it, and to associated hardware as **Digital TV**.
0019
0020 The word **DVB** is reserved to be used for:
0021
0022 - the Digital TV API version
0023 (e. g. DVB API version 3 or DVB API version 5);
0024 - digital TV data types (enums, structs, defines, etc);
0025 - digital TV device nodes (``/dev/dvb/...``);
0026 - the European DVB standard.
