Name
====

VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY - VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY - Get or set tuner or modulator radio frequency


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY, struct v4l2_frequency *argp )
    :name: VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY, const struct v4l2_frequency *argp )
    :name: VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY


Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency`.


Description
===========

To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications set
the ``tuner`` field of a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_frequency` to the respective tuner or
modulator number (only input devices have tuners, only output devices
have modulators), zero out the ``reserved`` array and call the
:ref:`VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The
driver stores the current frequency in the ``frequency`` field.

To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications
initialize the ``tuner``, ``type`` and ``frequency`` fields, and the
``reserved`` array of a struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency`
and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the driver
assumes the closest possible value. However :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` is a
write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new frequency.

    * - __u32
      - ``tuner``
      - The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in
	the struct :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and
	the struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field, or
	the struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` ``modulator`` field
	and the struct :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``index``
	field.
    * - __u32
      - ``type``
      - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. The type must be
	set to ``V4L2_TUNER_RADIO`` for ``/dev/radioX`` device nodes, and
	to ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` for all others. Set this field to
	``V4L2_TUNER_RADIO`` for modulators (currently only radio
	modulators are supported). See :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
    * - __u32
      - ``frequency``
      - Tuning frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` or struct
	:c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``capability`` flag
	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units of 62.5 Hz. A 1 Hz unit is
	used when the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set.
    * - __u32
      - ``reserved``\ [8]
      - Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set
	the array to zero.


Return Value
============

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

EINVAL
    The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds or the value in the ``type``
    field is wrong.

EBUSY
    A hardware seek is in progress.
