26Arguments
27=========
28
29``fd``
30    File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
31
32``argp``
33    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency`.

35Description
36===========
37
38To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications set
39the ``tuner`` field of a struct
40:c:type:`v4l2_frequency` to the respective tuner or
41modulator number (only input devices have tuners, only output devices
42have modulators), zero out the ``reserved`` array and call the
43:ref:`VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The
44driver stores the current frequency in the ``frequency`` field.
45
46To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications
47initialize the ``tuner``, ``type`` and ``frequency`` fields, and the
48``reserved`` array of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency`
49and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl with a pointer to this
50structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the driver
51assumes the closest possible value. However :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` is a
52write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new frequency.

63    * - __u32
64      - ``tuner``
65      - The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in
66	the struct :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and
67	the struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field, or
68	the struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` ``modulator`` field
69	and the struct :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``index``
70	field.
71    * - __u32
72      - ``type``
73      - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
74	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. The type must be
75	set to ``V4L2_TUNER_RADIO`` for ``/dev/radioX`` device nodes, and
76	to ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` for all others. Set this field to
77	``V4L2_TUNER_RADIO`` for modulators (currently only radio
78	modulators are supported). See :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
79    * - __u32
80      - ``frequency``
81      - Tuning frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
82	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` or struct
83	:c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``capability`` flag
84	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units of 62.5 Hz. A 1 Hz unit is
85	used when the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set.
86    * - __u32
87      - ``reserved``\ [8]
88      - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
89	the array to zero.

91Return Value
92============
93
94On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
95appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
96:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
97
98EINVAL
99    The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds or the value in the ``type``
100    field is wrong.
101
102EBUSY
103    A hardware seek is in progress.
