Name all ioctl references and make them match the ioctls that are documented. That will improve the cross-reference index, as it will have all ioctls and syscalls there. While here, improve the documentation to make them to look more like the rest of the document. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``fd``
|
|
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <cec-open>`.
|
|
|
|
``request``
|
|
CEC ioctl request code as defined in the cec.h header file, for
|
|
example :c:func:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS`.
|
|
|
|
``argp``
|
|
Pointer to a request-specific structure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
This documents the proposed CEC API. 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.
