12 cec-open - Open a cec device
22 .. c:function:: int open( const char *device_name, int flags )
33 Open flags. Access mode must be ``O_RDWR``.
35 When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag is given, the
36 :ref:`CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` and :c:func:`CEC_DQEVENT` ioctls
37 will return the ``EAGAIN`` error code when no message or event is available, and
38 ioctls :ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`,
39 :ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` and
40 :ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
43 Other flags have no effect.
51 This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
52 and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
54 To open a cec device applications call :c:func:`open()` with the
55 desired device name. The function has no side effects; the device
56 configuration remain unchanged.
58 When the device is opened in read-only mode, attempts to modify its
59 configuration will result in an error, and ``errno`` will be set to
66 :c:func:`open()` returns the new file descriptor on success. On error,
67 -1 is returned, and ``errno`` is set appropriately. Possible error codes
71 The requested access to the file is not allowed.
74 The process already has the maximum number of files open.
77 The system limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
80 Insufficient kernel memory was available.
83 No device corresponding to this device special file exists.
