+***********************
+
+Name
+====
+
+LIRC_GET_REC_MODE - Get supported receive modes.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, __u32 rx_modes)
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+    File descriptor returned by open().
+
+``request``
+    LIRC_GET_REC_MODE
+
+``rx_modes``
+    Bitmask with the supported transmit modes.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Get supported receive modes.
+
+Supported receive modes
+=======================
+
+.. _lirc-mode-mode2:
+
+``LIRC_MODE_MODE2``
+
+    The driver returns a sequence of pulse and space codes to userspace.
+
+.. _lirc-mode-lirccode:
+
+``LIRC_MODE_LIRCCODE``
+
+    The IR signal is decoded internally by the receiver. The LIRC interface
+    returns the scancode as an integer value. This is the usual mode used
+    by several TV media cards.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
