NAME
----
DVB audio open()
SYNOPSIS
--------
.. c:function:: int open(const char *deviceName, int flags)
ARGUMENTS
---------
.. flat-table::
:header-rows: 0
:stub-columns: 0
- .. row 1
- const char \*deviceName
- Name of specific audio device.
- .. row 2
- int flags
- A bit-wise OR of the following flags:
- .. row 3
-
- O_RDONLY read-only access
- .. row 4
-
- O_RDWR read/write access
- .. row 5
-
- O_NONBLOCK open in non-blocking mode
- .. row 6
-
- (blocking mode is the default)
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This system call opens a named audio device (e.g.
/dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0) for subsequent use. When an open() call has
succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The significance of
blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the documentation for
functions where there is a difference. It does not affect the semantics
of the open() call itself. A device opened in blocking mode can later be
put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) using the F_SETFL command
of the fcntl system call. This is a standard system call, documented in
the Linux manual page for fcntl. Only one user can open the Audio Device
in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will
fail, and an error code will be returned. If the Audio Device is opened
in O_RDONLY mode, the only ioctl call that can be used is
AUDIO_GET_STATUS. All other call will return with an error code.
RETURN VALUE
------------
.. flat-table::
:header-rows: 0
:stub-columns: 0
- .. row 1
- ``ENODEV``
- Device driver not loaded/available.
- .. row 2
- ``EBUSY``
- Device or resource busy.
- .. row 3
- ``EINVAL``
- Invalid argument.
