39    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner`.

42Description
43===========
44
45To query the attributes of a tuner applications initialize the ``index``
46field and zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
47:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` and call the ``VIDIOC_G_TUNER`` ioctl
48with a pointer to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure
49or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the index is out of bounds. To
50enumerate all tuners applications shall begin at index zero,
51incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.
52
53Tuners have two writable properties, the audio mode and the radio
54frequency. To change the audio mode, applications initialize the
55``index``, ``audmode`` and ``reserved`` fields and call the
56``VIDIOC_S_TUNER`` ioctl. This will *not* change the current tuner,
57which is determined by the current video input. Drivers may choose a
58different audio mode if the requested mode is invalid or unsupported.
59Since this is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actually
60selected audio mode.
61
62:ref:`SDR <sdr>` specific tuner types are ``V4L2_TUNER_SDR`` and
63``V4L2_TUNER_RF``. For SDR devices ``audmode`` field must be initialized
64to zero. The term 'tuner' means SDR receiver in this context.
65
66To change the radio frequency the
67:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl is available.

80    * - __u32

83    * - __u8
84      - ``name``\ [32]
85      - :cspan:`1`
86
87	Name of the tuner, a NUL-terminated ASCII string.
88
89	This information is intended for the user.
90    * - __u32
91      - ``type``
92      - :cspan:`1` Type of the tuner, see :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`.
93    * - __u32
94      - ``capability``
95      - :cspan:`1`
96
97	Tuner capability flags, see :ref:`tuner-capability`. Audio flags
98	indicate the ability to decode audio subprograms. They will *not*
99	change, for example with the current video standard.
100
101	When the structure refers to a radio tuner the
102	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG1``, ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG2`` and
103	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_NORM`` flags can't be used.
104
105	If multiple frequency bands are supported, then ``capability`` is
106	the union of all ``capability`` fields of each struct
107	:c:type:`v4l2_frequency_band`.
108    * - __u32
109      - ``rangelow``
110      - :cspan:`1` The lowest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or
111	if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units
112	of 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ``
113	is set, in units of 1 Hz. If multiple frequency bands are
114	supported, then ``rangelow`` is the lowest frequency of all the
115	frequency bands.
116    * - __u32
117      - ``rangehigh``
118      - :cspan:`1` The highest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz,
119	or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in
120	units of 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag
121	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set, in units of 1 Hz. If multiple
122	frequency bands are supported, then ``rangehigh`` is the highest
123	frequency of all the frequency bands.
124    * - __u32
125      - ``rxsubchans``
126      - :cspan:`1`
127
128	Some tuners or audio decoders can determine the received audio
129	subprograms by analyzing audio carriers, pilot tones or other
130	indicators. To pass this information drivers set flags defined in
131	:ref:`tuner-rxsubchans` in this field. For example:
132    * -
133      -
134      - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO``
135      - receiving mono audio
136    * -
137      -
138      - ``STEREO | SAP``
139      - receiving stereo audio and a secondary audio program
140    * -
141      -
142      - ``MONO | STEREO``
143      - receiving mono or stereo audio, the hardware cannot distinguish
144    * -
145      -
146      - ``LANG1 | LANG2``
147      - receiving bilingual audio
148    * -
149      -
150      - ``MONO | STEREO | LANG1 | LANG2``
151      - receiving mono, stereo or bilingual audio
152    * -
153      -
154      - :cspan:`1`
155
156	When the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_STEREO``, ``_LANG1``, ``_LANG2`` or
157	``_SAP`` flag is cleared in the ``capability`` field, the
158	corresponding ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_`` flag must not be set here.
159
160	This field is valid only if this is the tuner of the current video
161	input, or when the structure refers to a radio tuner.
162    * - __u32
163      - ``audmode``
164      - :cspan:`1`
165
166	The selected audio mode, see :ref:`tuner-audmode` for valid
167	values. The audio mode does not affect audio subprogram detection,
168	and like a :ref:`control` it does not automatically
169	change unless the requested mode is invalid or unsupported. See
170	:ref:`tuner-matrix` for possible results when the selected and
171	received audio programs do not match.
172
173	Currently this is the only field of struct
174	struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` applications can change.
175    * - __u32
176      - ``signal``
177      - :cspan:`1` The signal strength if known.
178
179	Ranging from 0 to 65535. Higher values indicate a better signal.
180    * - __s32
181      - ``afc``
182      - :cspan:`1` Automatic frequency control.
183
184	When the ``afc`` value is negative, the frequency is too
185	low, when positive too high.
186    * - __u32
187      - ``reserved``\ [4]
188      - :cspan:`1` Reserved for future extensions.
189
190	Drivers and applications must set the array to zero.

232	instead of 62.5 kHz.
233    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_NORM``
234      - 0x0002
235      - This is a multi-standard tuner; the video standard can or must be
236	switched. (B/G PAL tuners for example are typically not considered
237	multi-standard because the video standard is automatically
238	determined from the frequency band.) The set of supported video
239	standards is available from the struct
240	:c:type:`v4l2_input` pointing to this tuner, see the
241	description of ioctl :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT`
242	for details. Only ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this
243	capability.
244    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_BOUNDED``
245      - 0x0004
246      - If set, then this tuner supports the hardware seek functionality
247	where the seek stops when it reaches the end of the frequency
248	range.
249    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_WRAP``
250      - 0x0008
251      - If set, then this tuner supports the hardware seek functionality
252	where the seek wraps around when it reaches the end of the
253	frequency range.
254    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_STEREO``
255      - 0x0010
256      - Stereo audio reception is supported.
257    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG1``
258      - 0x0040
259      - Reception of the primary language of a bilingual audio program is
260	supported. Bilingual audio is a feature of two-channel systems,
261	transmitting the primary language monaural on the main audio
262	carrier and a secondary language monaural on a second carrier.
263	Only ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this capability.
264    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG2``
265      - 0x0020
266      - Reception of the secondary language of a bilingual audio program
267	is supported. Only ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this
268	capability.
269    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_SAP``
270      - 0x0020
271      - Reception of a secondary audio program is supported. This is a
272	feature of the BTSC system which accompanies the NTSC video
273	standard. Two audio carriers are available for mono or stereo
274	transmissions of a primary language, and an independent third
275	carrier for a monaural secondary language. Only
276	``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this capability.
277
278	.. note::
279
280	   The ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG2`` and ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_SAP``
281	   flags are synonyms. ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_SAP`` applies when the tuner
282	   supports the ``V4L2_STD_NTSC_M`` video standard.
283    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS``
284      - 0x0080
285      - RDS capture is supported. This capability is only valid for radio
286	tuners.
287    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_BLOCK_IO``
288      - 0x0100
289      - The RDS data is passed as unparsed RDS blocks.
290    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_CONTROLS``
291      - 0x0200
292      - The RDS data is parsed by the hardware and set via controls.
293    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_FREQ_BANDS``
294      - 0x0400
295      - The :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`

297    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM``
298      - 0x0800
299      - The range to search when using the hardware seek functionality is
300	programmable, see
301	:ref:`VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK` for
302	details.
303    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ``
304      - 0x1000
305      - When set, tuning frequencies are expressed in units of 1 Hz
