Drivers that support this will create an error-inj file +through which the error injection commands can be given. + +The basic syntax is as follows: + +Leading spaces/tabs are ignored. If the next character is a '#' or the +end of the line was reached, then the whole line is ignored. Otherwise +a command is expected. + +It is up to the driver to decide what commands to implement. The only +exception is that the command 'clear' without any arguments must be +implemented and that it will remove all current error injection +commands. + +This ensures that you can always do 'echo clear >error-inj' to clear any +error injections without having to know the details of the driver-specific +commands. + +Note that the output of 'error-inj' shall be valid as input to 'error-inj'. +So this must work: + + $ cat error-inj >einj.txt + $ cat einj.txt >error-inj + +Other than these basic rules described above this ABI is not considered +stable and may change in the future. + +Drivers that implement this functionality must document the commands as +part of the CEC documentation and must keep that documentation up to date +when changes are made. + +The following CEC error injection implementations exist: + +- Documentation/media/uapi/cec/cec-pin-error-inj.rst |
