|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In dev/i2c/ddcvar.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fo ddc_read_edid
|
|
.Fa "i2c_tag_t tag"

.Fc
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ddc_read_edid
|
|
reads a VESA Extended Display Identification Data block (EDID) via
|
|
VESA Display Data Channel (DDCv2). DDCv2 is a protocol for data exchange
|
|
between display devices (such as monitors and flat panels) and host
|
|
machines using an I2C bus.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa tag
|
|
argument is a machine-dependent tag used to specify the I2C
|
|
bus on which the DDCv2 device is located.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa dest
|
|
argument is a pointer to a buffer where the EDID data will be stored.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa len
|
|
argument is the amount of data to read into the buffer. (The buffer must be
|
|
large enough.) Typically, this value will be 128, which is the size of a
|
|
normal EDID data block.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normally the EDID data block will be post-processed with the
|
|
.Xr
|
|
.Fn edid_parse
|
|
function.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ddc_read_edid
|
|
function returns zero on success, and non-zero otherwise.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ddc_read_edid
|
|
function is part of the
|
|
.Xr ddc 4
|
|
driver, and is only included in the kernel if that driver is also included.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following code uses
|
|
.Fn ddc_read_edid
|
|
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);
|
|
...
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Note that this must be called before the PCI bus is attached during
|
|
autoconfiguration.
