Synopsis
|
========
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|

#include <fcntl.h>
|
|
.. c: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 :ref:`CEC_DQEVENT <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
|
===========
|
|
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.
