+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, const struct v4l2_frequency *argp )
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY, VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications set
+the ``tuner`` field of a struct
+:ref:`v4l2_frequency <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 :ref:`v4l2_frequency <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.

+ :stub-columns: 0
+ :widths: 1 1 2
+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``tuner``
+
+ - The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in
+ the struct :ref:`v4l2_input <v4l2-input>` ``tuner`` field and
+ the struct :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``index`` field, or
+ the struct :ref:`v4l2_output <v4l2-output>` ``modulator`` field
+ and the struct :ref:`v4l2_modulator <v4l2-modulator>` ``index``
+ field.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``type``
+
+ - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_tuner <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 :ref:`v4l2-tuner-type`
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``frequency``
+
+ - Tuning frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` or struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_modulator <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.
+
+ - .. row 4
+
+ - __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.
