<title>Description</title>
<para>These ioctls can be used to get or set an EDID associated with an input
from a receiver or an output of a transmitter device. They can be
used with subdevice nodes (/dev/v4l-subdevX) or with video nodes (/dev/videoX).</para>
<para>When used with video nodes the <structfield>pad</structfield> field represents the
input (for video capture devices) or output (for video output devices) index as
is returned by &VIDIOC-ENUMINPUT; and &VIDIOC-ENUMOUTPUT; respectively. When used
with subdevice nodes the <structfield>pad</structfield> field represents the
input or output pad of the subdevice. If there is no EDID support for the given
<structfield>pad</structfield> value, then the &EINVAL; will be returned.</para>
<para>To get the EDID data the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
<structfield>start_block</structfield>, <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield>
fields and call <constant>VIDIOC_G_EDID</constant>. The current EDID from block
<structfield>start_block</structfield> and of size <structfield>blocks</structfield>
will be placed in the memory <structfield>edid</structfield> points to. The <structfield>edid</structfield>
pointer must point to memory at least <structfield>blocks</structfield> * 128 bytes
large (the size of one block is 128 bytes).</para>
<para>If there are fewer blocks than specified, then the driver will set <structfield>blocks</structfield>
to the actual number of blocks. If there are no EDID blocks available at all, then the error code
ENODATA is set.</para>
<para>If blocks have to be retrieved from the sink, then this call will block until they
have been read.</para>
<para>If <structfield>start_block</structfield> and <structfield>blocks</structfield> are
both set to 0 when <constant>VIDIOC_G_EDID</constant> is called, then the driver will
set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to the total number of available EDID blocks
and it will return 0 without copying any data. This is an easy way to discover how many
EDID blocks there are. Note that if there are no EDID blocks available at all, then
the driver will set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0 and it returns 0.</para>
<para>To set the EDID blocks of a receiver the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
<structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield> fields and set
<structfield>start_block</structfield> to 0. It is not possible to set part of an EDID,
it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for receivers as it makes
no sense for a transmitter.</para>
<para>The driver assumes that the full EDID is passed in. If there are more EDID blocks than
the hardware can handle then the EDID is not written, but instead the error code E2BIG is set
and <structfield>blocks</structfield> is set to the maximum that the hardware supports.
If <structfield>start_block</structfield> is any
value other than 0 then the error code EINVAL is set.</para>
<para>To disable an EDID you set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0. Depending on the
hardware this will drive the hotplug pin low and/or block the source from reading the EDID
data in some way. In any case, the end result is the same: the EDID is no longer available.
