NAME

       cec-ctl - An application to control cec devices

SYNOPSIS

       cec-ctl [-h] [-d <dev>] [many other options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  cec-ctl  tool is used to control cec devices. It is able to control almost any aspect
       of such devices covering the full CEC API.

OPTIONS

       -d, --device=<dev>
              Use device <dev> as the CEC device. If <dev> is a  number,  then  /dev/cec<dev>  is
              used.

       -v, --verbose
              Turn on verbose reporting.

       -h, --help
              Prints the help message.

       -p, --phys-addr=<addr>
              Use  this  physical  address.  The  address  can  be a number (e.g. 0 or 0x11b1) or
              formatted as a.b.c.d where each component is a hex value from 0-f (e.g. 0.0.0.0  or
              1.1.b.1).

       -o, --osd-name=<name>
              Use this OSD name. The maximum length is 14 characters.

       -V, --vendor-id=<id>
              Use this vendor ID. The vendor ID is a number from 0x0 to 0xffffff.

       -C, --clear
              Clear all logical addresses, leaving the CEC device unconfigured.

       -n, --no-reply
              By  default  when sending a CEC message that expects a reply this utility will wait
              for that reply. With this option it will just  send  it  without  waiting  for  the
              reply.

       -t, --to=<la>
              Send the message to the given logical address (0-15).

       -f, --from=<la>
              Send  message  from  the  given  logical  address. It is only necessary to use this
              option if multiple logical addresses are claimed. By  default  the  first  assigned
              logical address will be used.

       -r, --show-raw
              Show the raw CEC message in hex.

       -s, --skip-info
              Skip the Driver Info output section.

       -S, --show-topology
              Show the CEC topology, detecting which other CEC devices are on the CEC bus.

       -P, --poll
              Send a poll message.

       -T, --trace
              Trace all called ioctls. Useful for debugging.

       -w, --wall-clock
              Show timestamps as wall-clock time.

       --cec-version-1.4
              Use CEC Version 1.4 instead of 2.0 (the default).

       --allow-unreg-fallback
              Allow  fallback  to  Unregistered if all logical addresses are claimed.  By default
              the adapter will remain unconfigured.

       --no-rc-passthrough
              Disable the RC passthrough. By default remote control CEC messages are passed on as
              input  keystrokes  (the CEC_LOG_ADDRS_FL_ALLOW_RC_PASSTHRU flag is set when calling
              the CEC_ADAP_S_LOG_ADDRS ioctl), but this can be blocked by using this option.

       --reply-to-followers
              The reply will be sent to followers as well. By default the reply will only  go  to
              the  follower  that  initiated  the  CEC  message.  But if you have other followers
              running as well, then by giving this option they will also receive the reply.

       --timeout=<ms>
              Set the reply timeout in milliseconds (default is 1000 ms).

       --list-ui-commands
              List all UI commands that can be used with option --control-pressed.

       --tv   Configure the CEC adapter as a TV.

       --record
              Configure the CEC adapter as a recording and playback device.

       --tuner
              Configure the CEC adapter as a tuner device.

       --playback
              Configure the CEC adapter as a playback device.

       --audio
              Configure the CEC adapter as an audio system device.

       --processor
              Configure the CEC adapter as a processor device.

              Signal that the RC source has a Media Context Menu.

       -m, --monitor
              Start  monitoring  CEC  traffic.  This  will  monitor  broadcast messages, messages
              directed to this CEC adapter and messages transmitted by this CEC adapter. Directed
              messages between other CEC devices are not monitored. This option requires root.

       -M, --monitor-all
              Start  monitoring  all  CEC  traffic. This will monitor all CEC messages, including
              directed messages between other CEC devices. This option requires  root.   Not  all
              CEC  devices  support  this monitoring mode. It will fallback to regular monitoring
              mode if it is not supported.

       --monitor-pin
              Start monitoring and analyzing the low-level CEC  pin  transitions.  This  is  only
              possible if the device has the CEC_CAP_MONITOR_PIN capability. This option requires
              root.  When in pin monitoring mode all  0->1  and  1->0  CEC  pin  transitions  are
              monitored and analysed. This is effectively a cheap CEC bus analyzer.

       --monitor-time=<secs>
              Monitor  for  the given number of seconds, then exit. The default (0) is to monitor
              forever.

       --ignore=<la>,<opcode>
              Ignore messages from logical address <la>  and  opcode  <opcode>  when  monitoring.
              "all"  can  be used for <la> or <opcode> to match all logical addresses or opcodes.
              To ignore poll messages use "poll" as <opcode>.

       --store-pin=<to>
              Store the CEC pin events to the given file. This can be read and analyzed later via
              the --analyze-pin option. Use - to write to stdout instead of to a file.

       --analyze-pin=<from>
              Read  and  analyze the CEC pin events from the given file. Use - to read from stdin
              instead of from a file.

       --help-all
              Prints the help message for all options.
