7.32. ioctl VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY, VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY

7.32.1. Name

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

7.32.2. Synopsis

VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY

int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY, struct v4l2_frequency *argp)

VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY

int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY, const struct v4l2_frequency *argp)

7.32.3. Arguments

fd

File descriptor returned by open().

argp

Pointer to struct v4l2_frequency.

7.32.4. Description

To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications set the tuner field of a struct 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 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 v4l2_frequency and call the VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY ioctl with a pointer to this structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the driver assumes the closest possible value. However VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new frequency.

type v4l2_frequency

struct v4l2_frequency

__u32	tuner	The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in the struct v4l2_input tuner field and the struct v4l2_tuner index field, or the struct v4l2_output modulator field and the struct v4l2_modulator index field.
__u32	type	The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct 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 v4l2_tuner_type
__u32	frequency	Tuning frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct v4l2_tuner or struct 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.

7.32.5. 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 Generic Error Codes 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.
