6.3.2.1. Digital TV audio open()¶
6.3.2.1.3. Arguments¶
const char *deviceName |
Name of specific audio device. |
int flags |
A bit-wise OR of the following flags: |
O_RDONLY read-only access |
|
O_RDWR read/write access |
|
O_NONBLOCK open in non-blocking mode |
|
(blocking mode is the default) |
6.3.2.1.4. Description¶
This system call opens a named audio device (e.g. /dev/dvb/adapter0/audio0) 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 Audio Device in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to open the device in this mode will fail, and an error code will be returned. If the Audio Device is opened in O_RDONLY mode, the only ioctl call that can be used is AUDIO_GET_STATUS. All other call will return with an error code.
6.3.2.1.5. Return Value¶

Device driver not loaded/available. |

Device or resource busy. |
