This API is not yet finalized + and is currently only available as a staging kernel module. + +CEC devices can send asynchronous events. These can be retrieved by +calling :ref:`ioctl CEC_DQEVENT <CEC_DQEVENT>`. 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`` error code. + +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 :ref:`CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE <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. + + +.. _cec-event-state-change_s: + +.. flat-table:: struct cec_event_state_change + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 8 + + + - .. row 1 + + - __u16 + + - ``phys_addr`` + + - The current physical address.

This is 0 if no logical + addresses are claimed or if ``phys_addr`` is ``CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID``. + If bit 15 is set (``1 << CEC_LOG_ADDR_UNREGISTERED``) then this device + has the unregistered logical address. In that case all other bits are 0. + + + +.. _cec-event-lost-msgs_s: + +.. flat-table:: struct cec_event_lost_msgs + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + :widths: 1 1 16 + + + - .. row 1 + + - __u32 + + - ``lost_msgs`` + + - Set to the number of lost messages since the filehandle was opened + or since the last time this event was dequeued for this + filehandle.
