+CEC_TRANSMIT
+Receive or transmit a CEC message
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_msg *argp )
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <cec-func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ CEC_RECEIVE, CEC_TRANSMIT
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Note: this documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized
+and is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
+
+To receive a CEC message the application has to fill in the
+:c:type:`struct cec_msg` structure and pass it to the ``CEC_RECEIVE``
+ioctl. ``CEC_RECEIVE`` is only available if ``CEC_CAP_RECEIVE`` is set.
+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.
+
+To send a CEC message the application has to fill in the
+:c:type:`struct cec_msg` structure and pass it to the
+``CEC_TRANSMIT`` ioctl. ``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.
+
+
+.. _cec-msg:
+
+.. flat-table:: struct cec_msg
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 1 1 2
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - __u64
+
+ - ``ts``
+
+ - Timestamp of when the message was transmitted in ns in the case of
+ ``CEC_TRANSMIT`` with ``reply`` set to 0, or the timestamp of the
+ received message in all other cases.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``len``
+
+ - The length of the message. For ``CEC_TRANSMIT`` this is filled in
+ by the application. The driver will fill this in for
+ ``CEC_RECEIVE`` and for ``CEC_TRANSMIT`` it will be filled in with
+ the length of the reply message if ``reply`` was set.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - __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
+ ``CEC_RECEIVE``. If it is 0 and it is called by ``CEC_TRANSMIT``,
+ then it will be replaced by 1000 if the ``reply`` is non-zero or
+ ignored if ``reply`` is 0.
+
+ - .. row 4
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``sequence``
+
+ - The sequence number is automatically assigned by the CEC framework
+ for all transmitted messages. It can be later used by the
+ framework to generate an event if a reply for a message was
+ requested and the message was transmitted in a non-blocking mode.
+
+ - .. row 5
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``flags``
+
+ - Flags. No flags are defined yet, so set this to 0.
+
+ - .. row 6
+
+ - __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.
+
+ - .. row 7
+
+ - __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 messages was received, not transmitted.
+
+ - .. row 8
+
+ - __u8
+
+ - ``msg``\ [16]
+
+ - The message payload. For ``CEC_TRANSMIT`` this is filled in by the
+ application. The driver will fill this in for ``CEC_RECEIVE`` and
+ for ``CEC_TRANSMIT`` it will be filled in with the payload of the
+ reply message if ``reply`` was set.
+
+ - .. row 9
+
+ - __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. If there was an error as indicated by a
+ non-zero ``tx_status`` field, then ``reply`` and ``timeout`` are
+ both set to 0 by the driver. Ignored by ``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
+ send a message and wait up to ``timeout`` milliseconds for a
+ Feature Abort reply. In this case ``rx_status`` will either be set
+ to ``CEC_RX_STATUS_TIMEOUT`` or ``CEC_RX_STATUS_FEATURE_ABORT``.
+
+ - .. row 10
+
+ - __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
+ ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST`` status bit is set.
+
+ - .. row 11
+
+ - __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
+ ``CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK`` status bit is set.
+
+ - .. row 12
+
+ - __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
+ ``CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE`` status bit is set.
+
+ - .. row 13
+
+ - __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 ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR`` status bit is set.
+
+
+
+.. _cec-tx-status:
+
+.. flat-table:: CEC Transmit Status
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 3 1 4
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_OK``
+
+ - 0x01
+
+ - The message was transmitted successfully. This is mutually
+ exclusive with ``CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES``. Other bits can still
+ be set if earlier attempts met with failure before the transmit
+ was eventually successful.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST``
+
+ - 0x02
+
+ - CEC line arbitration was lost.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK``
+
+ - 0x04
+
+ - Message was not acknowledged.
+
+ - .. row 4
+
+ - ``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.
+
+ - .. row 5
+
+ - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR``
+
+ - 0x10
+
+ - Some error occurred. This is used for any errors that do not fit
+ the previous two, either because the hardware could not tell which
+ error occurred, or because the hardware tested for other
+ conditions besides those two.
+
+ - .. row 6
+
+ - ``CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES``
+
+ - 0x20
+
+ - The transmit failed after one or more retries. This status bit is
+ mutually exclusive with ``CEC_TX_STATUS_OK``. Other bits can still
+ be set to explain which failures were seen.
+
+
+
+.. _cec-rx-status:
+
+.. flat-table:: CEC Receive Status
+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 3 1 4
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - ``CEC_RX_STATUS_OK``
+
+ - 0x01
+
+ - The message was received successfully.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - ``CEC_RX_STATUS_TIMEOUT``
+
+ - 0x02
+
+ - The reply to an earlier transmitted message timed out.
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - ``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.
+
+
+
+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.
