Drivers that support CEC will create a CEC device node (/dev/cecX) to
2727
give userspace access to the CEC adapter. The
2828
:ref:`CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS` ioctl will tell userspace what it is allowed to do.

In order to check the support and test it, it is suggested to download
31+
the `v4l-utils <https://git.linuxtv.org/v4l-utils.git/>`_ package. It
32+
provides three tools to handle CEC:
33+
34+
- cec-ctl: the Swiss army knife of CEC. Allows you to configure, transmit
35+
and monitor CEC messages.
36+
37+
- cec-compliance: does a CEC compliance test of a remote CEC device to
38+
determine how compliant the CEC implementation is.
39+
40+
- cec-follower: emulates a CEC follower.
