Hi, On ARM64—and presumably other architectures where the shell command 'getconf CHAR_MIN' prints '0'—the atsc_epg program is unusable. Even when it is invoked correctly, it always prints help information and exits indicating failure: $ atsc_epg -f 539000000 usage: atsc_epg [-a <n>] -f <frequency> [-p <period>] [-m <modulation>] [-t] [-h] The cause is an error in the option parsing code at util/atsc_epg/atsc_epg.c:1111 available on Salsa at https://salsa.debian.org/vdr-team/linuxtv-dvb-apps/-/blob/master/util/atsc_epg/atsc_epg.c#L1111 When parsing the command-line options, the return value of getopt() is always stored in an object with type 'char' but getopt() always returns an 'int'. When all options have been read, getopt() returns -1, but when 'char' is an unsigned type, this gets implicitly converted to 255 and then the default case in the 'switch' statement is invoked. I haven't tested it but changing the declaration of 'c' to 'int' should fix this. The build logs don't seem very verbose; maybe it should be looked into if the right options are getting passed to the compiler. GCC usually catches issues like this easily. Thanks, John
