- Name
- ====
- cec-ioctl - Control a cec device
- Synopsis
- ========
- .. code-block:: c
- #include <sys/ioctl.h>
- .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, void *argp )
- :name: cec-ioctl
- Arguments
- =========
- ``fd``
- File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <cec-open>`.
- ``request``
- CEC ioctl request code as defined in the cec.h header file, for
- example :c:func:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS`.
- ``argp``
- Pointer to a request-specific structure.
- Description
- ===========
- The :c:func:`ioctl()` function manipulates cec device parameters. The
- argument ``fd`` must be an open file descriptor.
- The ioctl ``request`` code specifies the cec function to be called. It
- has encoded in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write
- parameter, and the size of the argument ``argp`` in bytes.
- Macros and structures definitions specifying cec ioctl requests and
- their parameters are located in the cec.h header file. All cec ioctl
- requests, their respective function and parameters are specified in
- :ref:`cec-user-func`.
- 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.
- Request-specific error codes are listed in the individual requests
- descriptions.
- When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails, the
- parameter remains unmodified.
