The transmit queue has enough room for 18 messages (about 1 second worth
of 2-byte messages). Note that the CEC kernel framework will also reply
to core messages (see :ref:cec-core-processing), so it is not a good
idea to fully fill up the transmit queue.
If the file descriptor is in non-blocking mode then the transmit will
return 0 and the result of the transmit will be available via
:ref:`ioctl CEC_RECEIVE <CEC_RECEIVE>` once the transmit has finished
(including waiting for a reply, if requested).
The ``sequence`` field is filled in for every transmit and this can be
checked against the received messages to find the corresponding transmit
result.
