+
+LIRC_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE - Set the duty cycle of the carrier signal for
+IR transmit.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, LIRC_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE, __u32 *duty_cycle)
+ :name: LIRC_SET_SEND_DUTY_CYCLE
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by open().
+
+``duty_cycle``
+ Duty cicle, describing the pulse width in percent (from 1 to 99) of
+ the total cycle. Values 0 and 100 are reserved.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Get/set the duty cycle of the carrier signal for IR transmit.
+
+Currently, no special meaning is defined for 0 or 100, but this
+could be used to switch off carrier generation in the future, so
+these values should be reserved.
+
+
+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.
