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'). + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.0cm}|p{3.5cm}|p{13.0cm}| + +.. c:type:: cec_msg + +.. cssclass:: longtable + +.. flat-table:: struct cec_msg + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 16 + + * - __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.

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.

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.
