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

81 - The tuner index number. This is the same value as in the struct
82 :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and the struct
83 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field.
86 - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
87 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. See
88 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
91 - If non-zero, seek upward from the current frequency, else seek
95 - If non-zero, wrap around when at the end of the frequency range,
96 else stop seeking. The struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner`
97 ``capability`` field will tell you what the hardware supports.
100 - If non-zero, defines the hardware seek resolution in Hz. The
101 driver selects the nearest value that is supported by the device.
102 If spacing is zero a reasonable default value is used.
105 - If non-zero, the lowest tunable frequency of the band to search in
106 units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
107 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
108 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
109 struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
110 the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
111 ``rangelow`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
114 - If non-zero, the highest tunable frequency of the band to search
115 in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
116 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
117 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
118 struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
119 the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
120 ``rangehigh`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
123 - Reserved for future extensions. Applications must set the array to
130 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
131 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
132 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
135 The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds, the ``wrap_around`` value is
136 not supported or one of the values in the ``type``, ``rangelow`` or
137 ``rangehigh`` fields is wrong.
