The current EDID from block 65 <structfield>start_block</structfield> and of size <structfield>blocks</structfield> 66 will be placed in the memory <structfield>edid</structfield> points to.

If there are no EDID blocks available at all, then the error code 72 ENODATA is set.</para> 73 74 <para>If blocks have to be retrieved from the sink, then this call will block until they 75 have been read.</para> 76 77 <para>To set the EDID blocks of a receiver the application has to fill in the <structfield>pad</structfield>, 78 <structfield>blocks</structfield> and <structfield>edid</structfield> fields and set 79 <structfield>start_block</structfield> to 0. It is not possible to set part of an EDID, 80 it is always all or nothing. Setting the EDID data is only valid for receivers as it makes 81 no sense for a transmitter.</para> 82 83 <para>The driver assumes that the full EDID is passed in. If there are more EDID blocks than 84 the hardware can handle then the EDID is not written, but instead the error code E2BIG is set 85 and <structfield>blocks</structfield> is set to the maximum that the hardware supports. 86 If <structfield>start_block</structfield> is any 87 value other than 0 then the error code EINVAL is set.</para> 88 89 <para>To disable an EDID you set <structfield>blocks</structfield> to 0. Depending on the 90 hardware this will drive the hotplug pin low and/or block the source from reading the EDID 91 data in some way.
