This is only one example, demonstrating the benefits of the patch series. The CEC_DQEVENT ioctl is migrated to the sphinx c-domain and referred by ":name: CEC_DQEVENT". With this change the indirection using ":ref:`CEC_DQEVENT` is no longer needed, we can refer the ioctl directly with ":c:func:`CEC_DQEVENT`". As addition in the index, there is a entry "CEC_DQEVENT (C function)". Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarIT.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

cec-open - Open a cec device
|

|
|
Synopsis
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#include <fcntl.h>
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. cpp:function:: int open( const char *device_name, int flags )
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``device_name``
|
|
Device to be opened.
|
|
|
|
``flags``
|
|
Open flags. Access mode must be ``O_RDWR``.
|
|
|
|
When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag is given, the
|
|
:ref:`CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` and :c:func:`CEC_DQEVENT` ioctls
|
|
will return the ``EAGAIN`` error code when no message or event is available, and
|
|
ioctls :ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`,
|
|
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` and
|
|
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
|
|
all return 0.
|
|
|
|
Other flags have no effect.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
.. note:: This documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
|
|
and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
|
|
|
|
To open a cec device applications call :c:func:`open()` with the
|
|
desired device name. The function has no side effects; the device
|
|
configuration remain unchanged.
|
|
|
|
When the device is opened in read-only mode, attempts to modify its
|
|
configuration will result in an error, and ``errno`` will be set to
|
|
EBADF.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Return Value
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
:c:func:`open()` returns the new file descriptor on success. On error,
|
|
-1 is returned, and ``errno`` is set appropriately. Possible error codes
|
|
include:
|
|
|
|
``EACCES``
|
|
The requested access to the file is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
``EMFILE``
|
|
The process already has the maximum number of files open.
|
|
|
|
``ENFILE``
|
|
The system limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
|
|
|
|
``ENOMEM``
|
|
Insufficient kernel memory was available.
|
|
|
|
``ENXIO``
|
|
No device corresponding to this device special file exists.
