Input may be raw binary files or ASCII text in various formats +(see man page). + +EDID data may be read with get-edid (from the read-edid build) or from +the /sys filesystem, e.g. /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/edid (the filename +may vary on your system). + +Also, sample EDID data from various displays is included in the package. +See "/usr/doc/edid-decode-$VERSION/data/". + +edid-decode does the same job as the parse-edid command from the read-edid +build, but edid-decode shows more detailed info than parse-edid. Also, +edid-decode is still under development as of December 2018, while +read-edid was last updated in April 2015. |
