Details
dvbipcd is a remote DVB-C tuner daemon for Linear-TV.
It is running on the ARM side of Puma6 and Puma7 models if CONFIG_LINEARTV = 'y'.
On the ATOM side it is controlled by cableinfo through avmipc messages.
The tuning result is returned by dvbipc_state messages.

Daily updated index of AVM-Events and AVMIPC-Datastore nodes affecting this command. Last update: 2023-12-10 05:13 GMT.
The owners of Event-Sinks and Event-Sources are manual research, which may be incomplete or even wrong.
A * in the Mod column marks info from Supportdata-Probes, which will always stay incomplete.
A ** in the Mod column marks info from Supportdata2 probes, which by their nature will stay way more incomplete.

Source
The names of source files compiled into an executable often help to understand function blocks (and show gaps in the docs).
fw 7.29 source files:
$ strings /sbin/dvbipcd | grep -e '\.c$' -e '\.cpp$' <empty>
This was in an armconsole using cat instead of strings.
