Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cec-compliance: extend man page
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2016 13:37:24 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1472211445-26700-1-git-send-email-jaffe1@gmail.com> (raw)
The man page is extended with a more detailed description including a
more in-depth explanation of the different test result codes. An example
of how to run tests is also included, and a SEE ALSO section is added.

+test options is given, then only those tests will be performed. A set of core
+tests is always run.
+The CEC adapter needs to be configured before it is used to run tests with
+\fBcec-compliance\fR. Use \fBcec-ctl\fR for configuration.
+
+If the CEC adapter has claimed several logical addresses, the test set is run
+from each logical address in succession. The remote device needs to report a
+valid physical address in order to run tests on it.
+
+When running compliance tests, \fBcec-follower\fR should be run on the same
+adapter. \fBcec-follower\fR will reply to messages that are not handled by
+\fBcec-compliance\fR. \fBcec-follower\fR will also monitor the device under test
+for behaviors that are not compliant with the specification. Before each test run
+\fBcec-follower\fR should be restarted if it is already running, to initialize
+the emulated device with a clean and known initial state.
+
+Some tests require interactive mode (with the \fI-i\fR option) to confirm that
+the test passed. When in interactive mode, the user is asked to observe or
+perform actions on the remote device. Some tests also give conclusive test
+results when run in interactive mode.
+
+When testing the local CEC adapter's compliance with the CEC API, there must be
+at least one remote device present in order to test transmitting and receiving.
+
+The compliance tests can have several possible outcomes besides passing and
+failing:
+
+ OK The test passed.
+
+ OK (Unexpected) The test passed, but it was unexpected for the device
+ under test to support it. This might for example occur
+ when a TV replies to messages in the Deck Control
+ feature.
+
+ OK (Not Supported) The test did not pass and is not mandatory for the
+ device to pass.
+
+ OK (Presumed) Nothing went wrong during the test, but the test cannot
+ positively verify that the required effects of the test
+ occured. The test runner should verify that the test
+ passed by manually observing the device under test. This
+ is typically the test result for tests that send
+ messages that are not replied to, but which induce some
+ side effect on the device under test, such as a TV
+ switching to another input or sending a Remote Control
+ command.
+
+ OK (Refused) The device supports the feature or message being tested,
+ but responded <Feature Abort> ["Refused"] to indicate
+ that it cannot perform the given operation. This might
+ for example occur when trying to test the One Touch
+ Record feature on a TV with copy protection enabled.
+
+ FAIL The test failed and was expected to pass on the device.
+
+Some tests depend on other tests being successful. These are not run if the
+tests they depend on failed, and they will not be shown in the test listing.

+.SH EXAMPLE
+We want to test the compliance of a TV when it is interacting with a Playback
+device. The device node of the CEC adapter which the TV is connected to is
+/dev/cec1.
+
+The local CEC adapter first needs to be configured as a Playback device, and it
+must have an appropriate physical address. It is important that the physical
+address is correct, so as to not confuse the device under test. For example, if
+the CEC adapter is connected to the first input of the TV, the physical address
+1.0.0.0 should generally be used.
+
+ cec-ctl -d1 --playback --phys-addr 1.0.0.0
+
+Next, \fBcec-follower\fR also has to be started on the same device:
+
+ cec-follower -d1
+
+\fBcec-compliance\fR can now be run towards the TV by supplying the \fI-r\fR
+option with the logical address 0:
+
+ cec-compliance -d1 -r0
