<title>Description</title>
<para>
Note: this documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized and
is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
</para>
<para>All cec devices must support the <constant>CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS</constant>
ioctl. To query device information, applications call the ioctl with a
pointer to a &cec-caps;. The driver fills the structure and returns
the information to the application.
The ioctl never fails.</para>

<entry>Userspace has to configure the physical address by
calling &CEC-ADAP-S-PHYS-ADDR;. If this capability isn't set,

whenever the EDID is set (for an HDMI receiver) or read (for
an HDMI transmitter).</entry>

<entry>Userspace can transmit CEC messages by calling &CEC-TRANSMIT;. This
implies that userspace can be a follower as well, since being able to
transmit messages is a prerequisite of becoming a follower. If this
capability isn't set, then the kernel will handle all CEC transmits
and process all CEC messages it receives.
