#include <fcntl.h>

Arguments
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
``device_name``
|
|
Device to be opened.
|
|

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.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
:ref:`open() <func-open>` returns the new file descriptor on success. On error,
