Synopsis
|
||
|

Arguments
|
||
|
=========
|
||
|
|
||
|
``device_name``
|
||
|
Device to be opened.
|
||
|
|
||
|
``flags``
|
||
|
Open flags. Access mode must be either ``O_RDONLY`` or ``O_RDWR``.

Description
|
||
|
===========
|
||
|
|
||
|
To open a media device applications call :ref:`open() <media-func-open>` with the
|
||
|
desired device name. The function has no side effects; the device
|
||
|
configuration remain unchanged.
|
||
|
|
||
|
When the device is opened in read-only mode, attempts to modify its
|
||
|
configuration will result in an error, and ``errno`` will be set to
|
||
|
EBADF.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
