    <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>CEC devices can send asynchronous events. These can be retrieved by calling
    the <constant>CEC_DQEVENT</constant> ioctl. If the file descriptor is in non-blocking
    mode and no event is pending, then it will return -1 and set errno to the &EAGAIN;.</para>

    <para>The internal event queues are per-filehandle and per-event type. If there is
    no more room in a queue then the last event is overwritten with the new one. This
    means that intermediate results can be thrown away but that the latest event is always
    available. This also means that is it possible to read two successive events that have
    the same value (e.g. two CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE events with the same state). In that
    case the intermediate state changes were lost but it is guaranteed that the state
    did change in between the two events.</para>

	    <entry>Set to the number of lost messages since the filehandle

	    when a new message arrives and there is no more room, then the
	    oldest message is discarded to make room for the new one. The
	    internal size of the message queue guarantees that all messages
	    received in the last two seconds will be stored. Since messages
	    should be replied to within a second according to the CEC
	    specification, this is more than enough.
