- <title>Description</title>
- <para>These ioctls can be used to get or set an EDID associated with an input
- from a receiver or an output of a transmitter device. They can be
- used with subdevice nodes (/dev/v4l-subdevX) or with video nodes (/dev/videoX).</para>
-
- <para>When used with video nodes the <structfield>pad</structfield> field represents the
- input (for video capture devices) or output (for video output devices) index as
- is returned by &VIDIOC-ENUMINPUT; and &VIDIOC-ENUMOUTPUT; respectively. When used
- with subdevice nodes the <structfield>pad</structfield> field represents the
- input or output pad of the subdevice. If there is no EDID support for the given
- <structfield>pad</structfield> value, then the &EINVAL; will be returned.</para>
-
- <para>To get the EDID data the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
- <structfield>start_block</structfield>, <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield>
- fields, zero the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and call
- <constant>VIDIOC_G_EDID</constant>. The current EDID from block
- <structfield>start_block</structfield> and of size <structfield>blocks</structfield>
- will be placed in the memory <structfield>edid</structfield> points to. The <structfield>edid</structfield>
- pointer must point to memory at least <structfield>blocks</structfield>&nbsp;*&nbsp;128 bytes
- large (the size of one block is 128 bytes).</para>
-
- <para>If there are fewer blocks than specified, then the driver will set <structfield>blocks</structfield>
- to the actual number of blocks. If there are no EDID blocks available at all, then the error code
- ENODATA is set.</para>
-
- <para>If blocks have to be retrieved from the sink, then this call will block until they
- have been read.</para>
-
- <para>If <structfield>start_block</structfield> and <structfield>blocks</structfield> are
- both set to 0 when <constant>VIDIOC_G_EDID</constant> is called, then the driver will
- set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to the total number of available EDID blocks
- and it will return 0 without copying any data. This is an easy way to discover how many
- EDID blocks there are. Note that if there are no EDID blocks available at all, then
- the driver will set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0 and it returns 0.</para>
-
- <para>To set the EDID blocks of a receiver the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
- <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield> fields, set
- <structfield>start_block</structfield> to 0 and zero the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array.
- It is not possible to set part of an EDID,
- it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for receivers as it makes
- no sense for a transmitter.</para>
-
- <para>The driver assumes that the full EDID is passed in. If there are more EDID blocks than
- the hardware can handle then the EDID is not written, but instead the error code E2BIG is set
- and <structfield>blocks</structfield> is set to the maximum that the hardware supports.
- If <structfield>start_block</structfield> is any
- value other than 0 then the error code EINVAL is set.</para>
-
- <para>To disable an EDID you set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0. Depending on the
- hardware this will drive the hotplug pin low and/or block the source from reading the EDID
- data in some way. In any case, the end result is the same: the EDID is no longer available.
