.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These
|
|
functions provide support parsing the Extended Display Identification Data
|
|
which describes a display device such as a monitor or flat panel display.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn edid_is_valid
|
|
function simply tests if the EDID block in
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
contains valid data. This test includes a verification of the checksum,
|
|
and that valid vendor and product idenfication data is present. The data
|
|
block contain at least 128 bytes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn edid_parse
|
|
function parses the supplied
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
block (which again, must be at least 128 bytes), writing the relevant
|
|
data into the structure pointed to by
|
|
.Fa info .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn edid_print
|
|
function prints the data in the given
|
|
.Fa info
|
|
structure to the console device.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.\" XXX
|
|
.\" XXX It sure would be nice to have documentation about the details of the
|
|
.\" XXX edid_info structure itself. This takes more time, though, and
|
|
.\" XXX hopefully someone else will write it up. In the meantime, the code
|
|
.\" XXX references should be useful.
|
|
.\" XXX
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn edid_is_valid
|
|
function returns 0 if the data block is valid, and
|
|
.Er EINVAL
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn edid_parse
|
|
function returns zero if the data was successfully parsed, and
|
|
non-zero otherwise.
|
|
.Sh CODE REFERENCES
|
|
This section describes places within the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
source tree where actual code implementing or using the
|
|
EDID subsystem can be found.
|
|
All pathnames are relative to
|
|
.Pa /usr/src .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The EDID subsystem is implemented within the file
|
|
.Pa sys/dev/videomode/edid.c .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The EDID subsystem also makes use of VESA Generalized Timing Formula located
|
|
located in
|
|
.Pa sys/dev/videomode/vesagtf.c
|
|
and the generic videomode database located in
|
|
.Pa sys/dev/videomode/videomode.c .
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following code uses these functions
|
|
to retrieve and print information about a monitor:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bd -literal -compact
|
|
struct edid_info info;
|
|
i2c_tag_t tag;
|
|
char buffer[128];
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
/* initialize i2c tag... */
|
|
...
|
|
if ((ddc_read_edid(tag, buffer, 128) == 0) &&
|
|
(edid_parse(buffer, &info) == 0))
|
|
edid_print(info);
