Merge tag 'media/v4.8-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media documentation updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
"This patch series does the conversion of all media documentation stuff
to Restrutured Text markup format and add them to the
Documentation/index.rst file.
The media documentation was grouped into 4 books:
- media uAPI
- media kAPI
- V4L driver-specific documentation
- DVB driver-specific documentation
It also contains several documentation improvements and one fixup
patch for a core issue with cropcap.
PS. After this patch series, the media DocBook is deprecated and
should be removed. I'll add such patch on a future pull request"

This API is not yet finalized + and is currently only available as a staging kernel module. + +The :c:func:`ioctl()` function manipulates cec device parameters. The +argument ``fd`` must be an open file descriptor. + +The ioctl ``request`` code specifies the cec function to be called. It +has encoded in it whether the argument is an input, output or read/write +parameter, and the size of the argument ``argp`` in bytes. + +Macros and structures definitions specifying cec ioctl requests and +their parameters are located in the cec.h header file. All cec ioctl +requests, their respective function and parameters are specified in +:ref:`cec-user-func`. + + +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. + +Request-specific error codes are listed in the individual requests +descriptions. + +When an ioctl that takes an output or read/write parameter fails, the +parameter remains unmodified. |
