*********************
ioctl CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS
*********************
Name
====
CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS - Query device capabilities
Synopsis
========
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_caps *argp )
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <cec-func-open>`.
``request``
CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS
``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.
All cec devices must support the :ref:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS` ioctl. To query
device information, applications call the ioctl with a pointer to a
struct :ref:`cec_caps <cec-caps>`. The driver fills the structure and
returns the information to the application. The ioctl never fails.

- The name of the cec adapter driver.
- .. row 2
- char
- ``name[32]``
- The name of this CEC adapter. The combination ``driver`` and
``name`` must be unique.

- ``version``
- CEC Framework API version, formatted with the ``KERNEL_VERSION()``
macro.

- .. _`CEC-CAP-PHYS-ADDR`:
- ``CEC_CAP_PHYS_ADDR``
- 0x00000001
- Userspace has to configure the physical address by calling
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR`. If
this capability isn't set, then setting the physical address is
handled by the kernel whenever the EDID is set (for an HDMI
receiver) or read (for an HDMI transmitter).
- .. _`CEC-CAP-LOG-ADDRS`:
- ``CEC_CAP_LOG_ADDRS``
- 0x00000002
- Userspace has to configure the logical addresses by calling
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS`. If
this capability isn't set, then the kernel will have configured
this.
- .. _`CEC-CAP-TRANSMIT`:
- ``CEC_CAP_TRANSMIT``
- 0x00000004
- Userspace can transmit CEC messages by calling
:ref:`CEC_TRANSMIT`. This implies that
userspace can be a follower as well, since being able to transmit
messages is a prerequisite of becoming a follower. If this
capability isn't set, then the kernel will handle all CEC
transmits and process all CEC messages it receives.
- .. _`CEC-CAP-PASSTHROUGH`:
- ``CEC_CAP_PASSTHROUGH``
- 0x00000008
- Userspace can use the passthrough mode by calling
:ref:`CEC_S_MODE`.
- .. _`CEC-CAP-RC`:
- ``CEC_CAP_RC``
- 0x00000010
- This adapter supports the remote control protocol.
- .. _`CEC-CAP-MONITOR-ALL`:
- ``CEC_CAP_MONITOR_ALL``
- 0x00000020
- The CEC hardware can monitor all messages, not just directed and
broadcast messages.
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.
