12 VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK - Perform a hardware frequency seek
18 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK, struct v4l2_hw_freq_seek *argp )
19 :name: VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK
26 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
29 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_hw_freq_seek`.
35 Start a hardware frequency seek from the current frequency. To do this
36 applications initialize the ``tuner``, ``type``, ``seek_upward``,
37 ``wrap_around``, ``spacing``, ``rangelow`` and ``rangehigh`` fields, and
38 zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
39 :c:type:`v4l2_hw_freq_seek` and call the
40 ``VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
42 The ``rangelow`` and ``rangehigh`` fields can be set to a non-zero value
43 to tell the driver to search a specific band. If the struct
44 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
45 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM`` flag set, these values must fall
46 within one of the bands returned by
47 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`. If the
48 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM`` flag is not set, then these values
49 must exactly match those of one of the bands returned by
50 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`. If the
51 current frequency of the tuner does not fall within the selected band it
52 will be clamped to fit in the band before the seek is started.
54 If an error is returned, then the original frequency will be restored.
56 This ioctl is supported if the ``V4L2_CAP_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` capability is
59 If this ioctl is called from a non-blocking filehandle, then ``EAGAIN``
60 error code is returned and no seek takes place.

74 - The tuner index number. This is the same value as in the struct
75 :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and the struct
76 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field.
79 - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
80 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. See
81 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
84 - If non-zero, seek upward from the current frequency, else seek
88 - If non-zero, wrap around when at the end of the frequency range,
89 else stop seeking. The struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner`
90 ``capability`` field will tell you what the hardware supports.
93 - If non-zero, defines the hardware seek resolution in Hz. The
94 driver selects the nearest value that is supported by the device.
95 If spacing is zero a reasonable default value is used.
98 - If non-zero, the lowest tunable frequency of the band to search in
99 units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
100 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
101 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
102 struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
103 the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
104 ``rangelow`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
107 - If non-zero, the highest tunable frequency of the band to search
108 in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
109 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
110 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
111 struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
112 the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
113 ``rangehigh`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
116 - Reserved for future extensions. Applications must set the array to
123 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
124 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
125 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
128 The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds, the ``wrap_around`` value is
129 not supported or one of the values in the ``type``, ``rangelow`` or
130 ``rangehigh`` fields is wrong.
