NAME

6       xcmddc - monitor EDID fetching over i2c
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xcmddc [ -l [-v] ]
10       xcmddc [ -d POSITIONAL_NUMBER [--force-output] [--identify] ]
11       xcmddc [ --i2c NODE_NAME [--force-output] [--identify] ]
12       xcmddc [-h]
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The  xcmddc tool fetches a monitors EDID data block over a i2c communi‐
16       cation channel.
17

OPTIONS

19       -l     list devices.  Only devices which provide a EDID data block  and
20              the EDID's header is valid will be counted.
21
22              -v show each device by its node name.
23
24       -d=POSITIONAL_NUMBER , -d POSITIONAL_NUMBER
25              position  in device list.  The numbering of monitors starts with
26              zero for the first device. To get the number  of  all  available
27              devices  use  "xcmddc -l". The EDID data block is dumped to std‐
28              out.
29
30              --force-output switch EDID header verificatcationn off.
31
32              --identify dump the error code as integer to stdout.
33
34       --i2c=NODE_NAME , --i2c NODE_NAME
35              select the i2c device node file. The EDID data block  is  dumped
36              to  stdout.  The --i2c option is much faster than the -d option.
37              This is because of much fewer timeouts reuired for counting  the
38              valid i2c device with the -d option.
39
40              --force-output switch EDID header verification off.
41
42              --identify dump the error code as integer to stdout.
43

GENERAL OPTIONS

45       -v, --verbose
46              increase verbosity
47

EXAMPLES

49       Count available i2c->monitor devices:
50              xcmddc -l
51
52       List available i2c->monitor devices by name:
53              xcmddc -lv
54
55       Dump EDID from first i2c node:
56              xcmddc -d 0
57
58       Dump EDID by i2c device name:
59              xcmddc --i2c /dev/i2c-5
60
61       Print a help text:
62              xcmddc -h
