+
+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 :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS <CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS>`. 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.

+
+ - ``capabilities``
+
+ - The capabilities of the CEC adapter, see
+ :ref:`cec-capabilities`.

+
+
+ - .. _`CEC-CAP-PHYS-ADDR`:
+
+ - ``CEC_CAP_PHYS_ADDR``
+
+ - 0x00000001
+
+ - Userspace has to configure the physical address by calling
+ :ref:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR <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:`ioctl CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS <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:`ioctl CEC_TRANSMIT <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:`ioctl CEC_S_MODE <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.
