+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, __u16 *argp )
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <cec-func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ CEC_ADAP_G_PHYS_ADDR, CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR
+
+``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 query the current physical address applications call
+:ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_G_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_G_PHYS_ADDR>` with a pointer to a __u16 where the
+driver stores the physical address.
+
+To set a new physical address applications store the physical address in
+a __u16 and call :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` with a pointer to
+this integer. The :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` is only available if
+``CEC_CAP_PHYS_ADDR`` is set (the ``ENOTTY`` error code will be returned
+otherwise). The :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR>` can only be called
+by a file descriptor in initiator mode (see :ref:`CEC_S_MODE`), if not
+the ``EBUSY`` error code will be returned.
+
+To clear an existing physical address use ``CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID``.
+The adapter will go to the unconfigured state.
+
+If logical address types have been defined (see :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS>`),
+then this ioctl will block until all
+requested logical addresses have been claimed. If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode
+then it will not wait for the logical addresses to be claimed, instead it just returns 0.
+
+A :ref:`CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE <CEC-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE>` event is sent when the physical address
+changes.
+
+The physical address is a 16-bit number where each group of 4 bits
+represent a digit of the physical address a.b.c.d where the most
+significant 4 bits represent 'a'. The CEC root device (usually the TV)
+has address 0.0.0.0. Every device that is hooked up to an input of the
+TV has address a.0.0.0 (where 'a' is ≥ 1), devices hooked up to those in
+turn have addresses a.b.0.0, etc. So a topology of up to 5 devices deep
+is supported. The physical address a device shall use is stored in the
+EDID of the sink.
+
+For example, the EDID for each HDMI input of the TV will have a
+different physical address of the form a.0.0.0 that the sources will
+read out and use as their physical address.
+
+
+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.
