This ioctl sets the +filehandle to initiator and/or follower mode which can be exclusive +depending on the chosen mode. The initiator is the filehandle that is +used to initiate messages, i.e. it commands other CEC devices. The +follower is the filehandle that receives messages sent to the CEC +adapter and processes them. The same filehandle can be both initiator +and follower, or this role can be taken by two different filehandles. + +When a CEC message is received, then the CEC framework will decide how +it will be processed. If the message is a reply to an earlier +transmitted message, then the reply is sent back to the filehandle that +is waiting for it. In addition the CEC framework will process it. + +If the message is not a reply, then the CEC framework will process it +first. If there is no follower, then the message is just discarded and a +feature abort is sent back to the initiator if the framework couldn't +process it. If there is a follower, then the message is passed on to the +follower who will use :ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` to dequeue +the new message. The framework expects the follower to make the right +decisions. + +The CEC framework will process core messages unless requested otherwise +by the follower. The follower can enable the passthrough mode. In that +case, the CEC framework will pass on most core messages without +processing them and the follower will have to implement those messages. +There are some messages that the core will always process, regardless of +the passthrough mode. See :ref:`cec-core-processing` for details. + +If there is no initiator, then any CEC filehandle can use +:ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`. If there is an exclusive +initiator then only that initiator can call +:ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT`. The follower can of course +always call :ref:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <CEC_TRANSMIT>`. + +Available initiator modes are: + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{5.6cm}|p{0.9cm}|p{11.0cm}| + +.. _cec-mode-initiator_e: + +.. flat-table:: Initiator Modes + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 3 1 16 + + * .. _`CEC-MODE-NO-INITIATOR`: + + - ``CEC_MODE_NO_INITIATOR`` + - 0x0 + - This is not an initiator, i.e. it cannot transmit CEC messages or + make any other changes to the CEC adapter. + * .. _`CEC-MODE-INITIATOR`: + + - ``CEC_MODE_INITIATOR`` + - 0x1 + - This is an initiator (the default when the device is opened) and + it can transmit CEC messages and make changes to the CEC adapter, + unless there is an exclusive initiator. + * .. _`CEC-MODE-EXCL-INITIATOR`: + + - ``CEC_MODE_EXCL_INITIATOR`` + - 0x2 + - This is an exclusive initiator and this file descriptor is the + only one that can transmit CEC messages and make changes to the + CEC adapter.
