The +significance of blocking or non-blocking mode is described in the +documentation for functions where there is a difference. It does not +affect the semantics of the open() call itself. A device opened in +blocking mode can later be put into non-blocking mode (and vice versa) +using the F_SETFL command of the fcntl system call. This is a standard +system call, documented in the Linux manual page for fcntl. Only one +user can open the CA Device in O_RDWR mode. All other attempts to open +the device in this mode will fail, and an error code will be returned. + + +Return Value +------------ + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 0 + :stub-columns: 0 + + + - .. row 1 + + - ``ENODEV`` + + - Device driver not loaded/available. + + - .. row 2 + + - ``EINTERNAL`` + + - Internal error. + + - .. row 3 + + - ``EBUSY`` + + - Device or resource busy. + + - .. row 4 + + - ``EINVAL`` + + - Invalid argument. |
