- <para>
- Note: this documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized and
- is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
- </para>
-
- <para>By default any filehandle can use &CEC-TRANSMIT; and &CEC-RECEIVE;, but
-in order to prevent applications from stepping on each others toes it must be possible
-to obtain exclusive access to the CEC adapter. This ioctl sets the filehandle
-to initiator and/or follower mode which can be exclusive depending on the chosen
-mode. The initiator is the filehandle that is used
-to initiate messages, i.e. it commands other CEC devices. The follower is the filehandle
-that receives messages sent to the CEC adapter and processes them. The same filehandle
-can be both initiator and follower, or this role can be taken by two different
-filehandles.</para>
-
- <para>When a CEC message is received, then the CEC framework will decide how
-it will be processed. If the message is a reply to an earlier transmitted message,
-then the reply is sent back to the filehandle that is waiting for it. In addition
-the CEC framework will process it.</para>
-
- <para>If the message is not a reply, then the CEC framework will process it
-first. If there is no follower, then the message is just discarded and a feature
-abort is sent back to the initiator if the framework couldn't process it. If there
-is a follower, then the message is passed on to the follower who will use
-&CEC-RECEIVE; to dequeue the new message. The framework expects the follower to
-make the right decisions.</para>
-
- <para>The CEC framework will process core messages unless requested otherwise
-by the follower. The follower can enable the passthrough mode. In that case, the
-CEC framework will pass on most core messages without processing them and
-the follower will have to implement those messages. There are some messages
-that the core will always process, regardless of the passthrough mode. See
-<xref linkend="cec-core-processing" /> for details.</para>
-
- <para>If there is no initiator, then any CEC filehandle can use &CEC-TRANSMIT;.
-If there is an exclusive initiator then only that initiator can call &CEC-TRANSMIT;.
-The follower can of course always call &CEC-TRANSMIT;.</para>
