|
Arguments
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``fd``
|
||
|
|
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <cec-open>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``argp``
|
||
|
|
Pointer to struct cec_msg.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Description
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To receive a CEC message the application has to fill in the
|
||
|
|
``timeout`` field of struct :c:type:`cec_msg` and pass it to
|
||
|
|
:ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
|
||
|
|
If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode and there are no received
|
||
|
|
messages pending, then it will return -1 and set errno to the ``EAGAIN``
|
||
|
|
error code. If the file descriptor is in blocking mode and ``timeout``
|
||
|
|
is non-zero and no message arrived within ``timeout`` milliseconds, then
|
||
|
|
it will return -1 and set errno to the ``ETIMEDOUT`` error code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A received message can be:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. a message received from another CEC device (the ``sequence`` field will
|
||
|
|
be 0).
|
||
|
|
2. the result of an earlier non-blocking transmit (the ``sequence`` field will
|
||
|
|
be non-zero).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To send a CEC message the application has to fill in the struct
|
||
|
|
:c:type:`cec_msg` and pass it to :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`.
|
||
|
|
The :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` is only available if
|
||
|
|
``CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT`` is set. If there is no more room in the transmit
|
||
|
|
queue, then it will return -1 and set errno to the ``EBUSY`` error code.
|
||
|
|
The transmit queue has enough room for 18 messages (about 1 second worth
|
||
|
|
of 2-byte messages). Note that the CEC kernel framework will also reply
|
||
|
|
to core messages (see :ref:`cec-core-processing`), so it is not a good
|
||
|
|
idea to fully fill up the transmit queue.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode then the transmit will
|
||
|
|
return 0 and the result of the transmit will be available via
|
||
|
|
:ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` once the transmit has finished
|
||
|
|
(including waiting for a reply, if requested).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ``sequence`` field is filled in for every transmit and this can be
|
||
|
|
checked against the received messages to find the corresponding transmit
|
||
|
|
result.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Normally calling :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` when the physical
|
||
|
|
address is invalid (due to e.g. a disconnect) will return ``ENONET``.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
However, the CEC specification allows sending messages from 'Unregistered' to
|
||
|
|
'TV' when the physical address is invalid since some TVs pull the hotplug detect
|
||
|
|
pin of the HDMI connector low when they go into standby, or when switching to
|
||
|
|
another input.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the hotplug detect pin goes low the EDID disappears, and thus the
|
||
|
|
physical address, but the cable is still connected and CEC still works.
|
||
|
|
In order to detect/wake up the device it is allowed to send poll and 'Image/Text
|
||
|
|
View On' messages from initiator 0xf ('Unregistered') to destination 0 ('TV').

* - __u64
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_ts``
|
||
|
|
- Timestamp in ns of when the last byte of the message was transmitted.
|
||
|
|
The timestamp has been taken from the ``CLOCK_MONOTONIC`` clock. To access
|
||
|
|
the same clock from userspace use :c:func:`clock_gettime`.
|
||
|
|
* - __u64
|
||
|
|
- ``rx_ts``
|
||
|
|
- Timestamp in ns of when the last byte of the message was received.
|
||
|
|
The timestamp has been taken from the ``CLOCK_MONOTONIC`` clock. To access
|
||
|
|
the same clock from userspace use :c:func:`clock_gettime`.
|
||
|
|
* - __u32
|
||
|
|
- ``len``
|
||
|
|
- The length of the message. For :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` this is filled in
|
||
|
|
by the application. The driver will fill this in for
|
||
|
|
:ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`. For :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` it will be
|
||
|
|
filled in by the driver with the length of the reply message if ``reply`` was set.
|
||
|
|
* - __u32
|
||
|
|
- ``timeout``
|
||
|
|
- The timeout in milliseconds. This is the time the device will wait
|
||
|
|
for a message to be received before timing out. If it is set to 0,
|
||
|
|
then it will wait indefinitely when it is called by :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
|
||
|
|
If it is 0 and it is called by :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`,
|
||
|
|
then it will be replaced by 1000 if the ``reply`` is non-zero or
|
||
|
|
ignored if ``reply`` is 0.
|
||
|
|
* - __u32
|
||
|
|
- ``sequence``
|
||
|
|
- A non-zero sequence number is automatically assigned by the CEC framework
|
||
|
|
for all transmitted messages. It is used by the CEC framework when it queues
|
||
|
|
the transmit result (when transmit was called in non-blocking mode). This
|
||
|
|
allows the application to associate the received message with the original
|
||
|
|
transmit.
|
||
|
|
* - __u32
|
||
|
|
- ``flags``
|
||
|
|
- Flags. See :ref:`cec-msg-flags` for a list of available flags.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_status``
|
||
|
|
- The status bits of the transmitted message. See
|
||
|
|
:ref:`cec-tx-status` for the possible status values. It is 0 if
|
||
|
|
this message was received, not transmitted.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``msg[16]``
|
||
|
|
- The message payload. For :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` this is filled in by the
|
||
|
|
application. The driver will fill this in for :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
|
||
|
|
For :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` it will be filled in by the driver with
|
||
|
|
the payload of the reply message if ``timeout`` was set.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``reply``
|
||
|
|
- Wait until this message is replied. If ``reply`` is 0 and the
|
||
|
|
``timeout`` is 0, then don't wait for a reply but return after
|
||
|
|
transmitting the message. Ignored by :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.
|
||
|
|
The case where ``reply`` is 0 (this is the opcode for the Feature Abort
|
||
|
|
message) and ``timeout`` is non-zero is specifically allowed to make it
|
||
|
|
possible to send a message and wait up to ``timeout`` milliseconds for a
|
||
|
|
Feature Abort reply. In this case ``rx_status`` will either be set
|
||
|
|
to :ref:`CEC_RX_STATUS_TIMEOUT <CEC-RX-STATUS-TIMEOUT>` or
|
||
|
|
:ref:`CEC_RX_STATUS_FEATURE_ABORT <CEC-RX-STATUS-FEATURE-ABORT>`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the transmitter message is ``CEC_MSG_INITIATE_ARC`` then the ``reply``
|
||
|
|
values ``CEC_MSG_REPORT_ARC_INITIATED`` and ``CEC_MSG_REPORT_ARC_TERMINATED``
|
||
|
|
are processed differently: either value will match both possible replies.
|
||
|
|
The reason is that the ``CEC_MSG_INITIATE_ARC`` message is the only CEC
|
||
|
|
message that has two possible replies other than Feature Abort. The
|
||
|
|
``reply`` field will be updated with the actual reply so that it is
|
||
|
|
synchronized with the contents of the received message.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``rx_status``
|
||
|
|
- The status bits of the received message. See
|
||
|
|
:ref:`cec-rx-status` for the possible status values. It is 0 if
|
||
|
|
this message was transmitted, not received, unless this is the
|
||
|
|
reply to a transmitted message. In that case both ``rx_status``
|
||
|
|
and ``tx_status`` are set.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_status``
|
||
|
|
- The status bits of the transmitted message. See
|
||
|
|
:ref:`cec-tx-status` for the possible status values. It is 0 if
|
||
|
|
this message was received, not transmitted.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_arb_lost_cnt``
|
||
|
|
- A counter of the number of transmit attempts that resulted in the
|
||
|
|
Arbitration Lost error. This is only set if the hardware supports
|
||
|
|
this, otherwise it is always 0. This counter is only valid if the
|
||
|
|
:ref:`CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST <CEC-TX-STATUS-ARB-LOST>` status bit is set.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_nack_cnt``
|
||
|
|
- A counter of the number of transmit attempts that resulted in the
|
||
|
|
Not Acknowledged error. This is only set if the hardware supports
|
||
|
|
this, otherwise it is always 0. This counter is only valid if the
|
||
|
|
:ref:`CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK <CEC-TX-STATUS-NACK>` status bit is set.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_low_drive_cnt``
|
||
|
|
- A counter of the number of transmit attempts that resulted in the
|
||
|
|
Arbitration Lost error. This is only set if the hardware supports
|
||
|
|
this, otherwise it is always 0. This counter is only valid if the
|
||
|
|
:ref:`CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE <CEC-TX-STATUS-LOW-DRIVE>` status bit is set.
|
||
|
|
* - __u8
|
||
|
|
- ``tx_error_cnt``
|
||
|
|
- A counter of the number of transmit errors other than Arbitration
|
||
|
|
Lost or Not Acknowledged. This is only set if the hardware
|
||
|
|
supports this, otherwise it is always 0. This counter is only
|
||
|
|
valid if the :ref:`CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR <CEC-TX-STATUS-ERROR>` status bit is set.

|
|
- ``CEC_TX_STATUS_OK``
|

|
|
- 0x01
|

|
|
- The message was transmitted successfully. This is mutually

exclusive with :ref:`CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES <CEC-TX-STATUS-MAX-RETRIES>`.
|

- 0x02
|

|
|
- CEC line arbitration was lost, i.e. another transmit started at the

- ``CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK``
|
||
|
|
- 0x04
|
||
|
|
- Message was not acknowledged. Note that some hardware cannot tell apart
|
||
|
|
a 'Not Acknowledged' status from other error conditions, i.e. the result
|
||
|
|
of a transmit is just OK or FAIL. In that case this status will be

|
|
|

|
|
- ``CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE``
|

|
|
- 0x08
|
||
|
|
- Low drive was detected on the CEC bus. This indicates that a
|
||
|
|
follower detected an error on the bus and requests a
|
||
|
|
retransmission. Optional status, not all hardware can detect this

|
||
|
|
- Some error occurred. This is used for any errors that do not fit
|
||
|
|
``CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST`` or ``CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE``, either because
|
||
|
|
the hardware could not tell which error occurred, or because the hardware
|

|
|
tested for other conditions besides those two. Optional status.

|
|
- ``CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES``
|
||
|
|
- 0x20
|
||
|
|
- The transmit failed after one or more retries. This status bit is
|
||
|
|
mutually exclusive with :ref:`CEC_TX_STATUS_OK <CEC-TX-STATUS-OK>`.
|
||
|
|
Other bits can still be set to explain which failures were seen.

|
|
|

|
|
- ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ABORTED``
|
||
|
|
- 0x40
|
||
|
|
- The transmit was aborted due to an HDMI disconnect, or the adapter
|
||
|
|
was unconfigured, or a transmit was interrupted, or the driver
|
||
|
|
returned an error when attempting to start a transmit.

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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` can return the following
|
||
|
|
error codes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EAGAIN
|
||
|
|
No messages are in the receive queue, and the filehandle is in non-blocking mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ETIMEDOUT
|
||
|
|
The ``timeout`` was reached while waiting for a message.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ERESTARTSYS
|
||
|
|
The wait for a message was interrupted (e.g. by Ctrl-C).
|
||
|
|
|
||

The :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` can return the following
|
||
|
|
error codes:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ENOTTY
|
||
|
|
The ``CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT`` capability wasn't set, so this ioctl is not supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EPERM
|
||
|
|
The CEC adapter is not configured, i.e. :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
|
||
|
|
has never been called.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ENONET
|
||
|
|
The CEC adapter is not configured, i.e. :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`
|
||
|
|
was called, but the physical address is invalid so no logical address was claimed.
|
||
|
|
An exception is made in this case for transmits from initiator 0xf ('Unregistered')
|
||
|
|
to destination 0 ('TV'). In that case the transmit will proceed as usual.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EBUSY
|
||
|
|
Another filehandle is in exclusive follower or initiator mode, or the filehandle
|
||
|
|
is in mode ``CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR``. This is also returned if the transmit
|
||
|
|
queue is full.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
EINVAL
|
||
|
|
The contents of struct :c:type:`cec_msg` is invalid.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ERESTARTSYS
|
||
|
|
The wait for a successful transmit was interrupted (e.g. by Ctrl-C).
