63     <para>To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
64 applications set the <structfield>tuner</structfield> field of a
65 &v4l2-frequency; to the respective tuner or modulator number (only
66 input devices have tuners, only output devices have modulators), zero
67 out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and
68 call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
69 to this structure. The driver stores the current frequency in the
70 <structfield>frequency</structfield> field.</para>
72     <para>To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
73 applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,

77 call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
78 to this structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the
79 driver assumes the closest possible value. However
80 <constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> is a write-only ioctl, it does
81 not return the actual new frequency.</para>
