Description
|
||
|
|
-----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This system call opens a named ca device (e.g. ``/dev/dvb/adapter?/ca?``)
|
||
|
|
for subsequent use.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When an ``open()`` call has succeeded, the device will be ready for use. The
|
||
|
|
significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the
|
||
|
|
documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not
|
||
|
|
affect the semantics of the ``open()`` call itself. A device opened in
|
||
|
|
blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa)
|
||
|
|
using the ``F_SETFL`` command of the ``fcntl`` system call. This is a
|
||
|
|
standard system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl.
|
||
|
|
Only one user can open the CA Device in ``O_RDWR`` mode. All other
|
||
|
|
attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an error code
|
||
|
|
will be returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Return Value
|
||
|
|
------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On success 0 is returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
|
||
|
|
appropriately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Generic error codes are described at the
|
||
|
|
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
