21Arguments
22=========
23
24``fd``
25    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open() <cec-open>`.
26
27``argp``

30Description
31===========
32
33CEC devices can send asynchronous events. These can be retrieved by
34calling :c:func:`CEC_DQEVENT`. If the file descriptor is in
35non-blocking mode and no event is pending, then it will return -1 and
36set errno to the ``EAGAIN`` error code.
37
38The internal event queues are per-filehandle and per-event type. If
39there is no more room in a queue then the last event is overwritten with
40the new one. This means that intermediate results can be thrown away but
41that the latest event is always available. This also means that is it
42possible to read two successive events that have the same value (e.g.
43two :ref:`CEC_EVENT_STATE_CHANGE <CEC-EVENT-STATE-CHANGE>` events with
44the same state). In that case the intermediate state changes were lost but
45it is guaranteed that the state did change in between the two events.

56    * - __u16
57      - ``phys_addr``
58      - The current physical address. This is ``CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID`` if no
59        valid physical address is set.
60    * - __u16
61      - ``log_addr_mask``
62      - The current set of claimed logical addresses. This is 0 if no logical
63        addresses are claimed or if ``phys_addr`` is ``CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID``.
64	If bit 15 is set (``1 << CEC_LOG_ADDR_UNREGISTERED``) then this device
65	has the unregistered logical address. In that case all other bits are 0.

76
77    * - __u32
78      - ``lost_msgs``
79      - Set to the number of lost messages since the filehandle was opened
80	or since the last time this event was dequeued for this
81	filehandle. The messages lost are the oldest messages. So when a
82	new message arrives and there is no more room, then the oldest
83	message is discarded to make room for the new one. The internal
84	size of the message queue guarantees that all messages received in
85	the last two seconds will be stored. Since messages should be
86	replied to within a second according to the CEC specification,
87	this is more than enough.

141      - Generated when the CEC Adapter's state changes. When open() is
142	called an initial event will be generated for that filehandle with
143	the CEC Adapter's state at that time.

145
146      - ``CEC_EVENT_LOST_MSGS``

151
152      - ``CEC_EVENT_PIN_CEC_LOW``
153      - 3
154      - Generated if the CEC pin goes from a high voltage to a low voltage.

156	capability set.

179      - Set for the initial events that are generated when the device is
180	opened. See the table above for which events do this. This allows
181	applications to learn the initial state of the CEC adapter at
182	open() time.

188        This is an indication that the application cannot keep up.

192Return Value
193============
194
195On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
196appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
197:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
198
199The :ref:`ioctl CEC_DQEVENT <CEC_DQEVENT>` can return the following
200error codes:
201
202EAGAIN
203    This is returned when the filehandle is in non-blocking mode and there
204    are no pending events.
205
206ERESTARTSYS
207    An interrupt (e.g. Ctrl-C) arrived while in blocking mode waiting for
208    events to arrive.
