59 <para>These ioctls can be used to get or set an EDID associated with an input pad
60 from a receiver or an output pad of a transmitter subdevice.</para>
61
62 <para>To get the EDID data the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
63 <structfield>start_block</structfield>, <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield>
64 fields and call <constant>VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_EDID</constant>. The current EDID from block
65 <structfield>start_block</structfield> and of size <structfield>blocks</structfield>
66 will be placed in the memory <structfield>edid</structfield> points to. The <structfield>edid</structfield>
67 pointer must point to memory at least <structfield>blocks</structfield>&nbsp;*&nbsp;128 bytes
68 large (the size of one block is 128 bytes).</para>
69
70 <para>If there are fewer blocks than specified, then the driver will set <structfield>blocks</structfield>
71 to the actual number of blocks. If there are no EDID blocks available at all, then the error code
72 ENODATA is set.</para>
73
74 <para>If blocks have to be retrieved from the sink, then this call will block until they
75 have been read.</para>
76
77 <para>To set the EDID blocks of a receiver the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>,
78 <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield> fields and set
79 <structfield>start_block</structfield> to 0. It is not possible to set part of an EDID,
80 it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for receivers as it makes
81 no sense for a transmitter.</para>
82
83 <para>The driver assumes that the full EDID is passed in. If there are more EDID blocks than
84 the hardware can handle then the EDID is not written, but instead the error code E2BIG is set
85 and <structfield>blocks</structfield> is set to the maximum that the hardware supports.
86 If <structfield>start_block</structfield> is any
87 value other than 0 then the error code EINVAL is set.</para>
88
89 <para>To disable an EDID you set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0. Depending on the
90 hardware this will drive the hotplug pin low and/or block the source from reading the EDID
91 data in some way. In any case, the end result is the same: the EDID is no longer available.
