CEC_RECEIVE, CEC_TRANSMIT - Receive or transmit a CEC message


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, CEC_RECEIVE, struct cec_msg \*argp )
    :name: CEC_RECEIVE

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, CEC_TRANSMIT, struct cec_msg \*argp )
    :name: CEC_TRANSMIT

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.

      - 1
      - If a CEC transmit expects a reply, then by default that reply is only sent to
	the filehandle that called :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`. If this
	flag is set, then the reply is also sent to all followers, if any. If the
	filehandle that called :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>` is also a
	follower, then that filehandle will receive the reply twice: once as the
	result of the :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`, and once via
	:ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>`.

    * .. _`CEC-TX-STATUS-OK`:

      - ``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>`.
	Other bits can still be set if earlier attempts met with failure before
	the transmit was eventually successful.
    * .. _`CEC-TX-STATUS-ARB-LOST`:

      - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST``
      - 0x02
      - CEC line arbitration was lost, i.e. another transmit started at the
        same time with a higher priority. Optional status, not all hardware
	can detect this error condition.
    * .. _`CEC-TX-STATUS-NACK`:

      - ``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
	returned when the transmit failed.
    * .. _`CEC-TX-STATUS-LOW-DRIVE`:

      - ``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
	error condition.
    * .. _`CEC-TX-STATUS-ERROR`:

      - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR``
      - 0x10
      - 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`:

      - ``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`:

      - ``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.
    * .. _`CEC-TX-STATUS-TIMEOUT`:

      - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_TIMEOUT``
      - 0x80
      - The transmit timed out. This should not normally happen and this
	indicates a driver problem.

    * .. _`CEC-RX-STATUS-TIMEOUT`:

      - ``CEC_RX_STATUS_TIMEOUT``

      - ``CEC_RX_STATUS_FEATURE_ABORT``
      - 0x04
      - The message was received successfully but the reply was
	``CEC_MSG_FEATURE_ABORT``. This status is only set if this message
	was the reply to an earlier transmitted message.
    * .. _`CEC-RX-STATUS-ABORTED`:

      - ``CEC_RX_STATUS_ABORTED``
      - 0x08
      - The wait for a reply to an earlier transmitted message was aborted
        because the HDMI cable was disconnected, the adapter was unconfigured
	or the :ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_RECEIVE>` that waited for a
	reply was interrupted.



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).
