+Open a cec device
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    #include <fcntl.h>
+
+
+.. c:function:: int open( const char *device_name, int flags )
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``device_name``
+    Device to be opened.
+
+``flags``
+    Open flags. Access mode must be ``O_RDWR``.
+
+    When the ``O_NONBLOCK`` flag is given, the
+    :ref:`CEC_RECEIVE <cec-ioc-receive>` ioctl will return EAGAIN
+    error code when no message is available, and the
+    :ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT <cec-ioc-receive>`,
+    :ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <cec-ioc-adap-g-phys-addr>` and
+    :ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <cec-ioc-adap-g-log-addrs>` ioctls
+    all act in non-blocking mode.
+
+    Other flags have no effect.
+
+
+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 open a cec device applications call :c:func:`open()` with the
+desired device name. The function has no side effects; the device
+configuration remain unchanged.
+
+When the device is opened in read-only mode, attempts to modify its
+configuration will result in an error, and ``errno`` will be set to
+EBADF.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+:c:func:`open()` returns the new file descriptor on success. On error,
+-1 is returned, and ``errno`` is set appropriately. Possible error codes
+include:
+
+EACCES
+    The requested access to the file is not allowed.
+
+EMFILE
+    The process already has the maximum number of files open.
+
+ENFILE
+    The system limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
+
+ENOMEM
+    Insufficient kernel memory was available.
+
+ENXIO
+    No device corresponding to this device special file exists.
