12 FE_SET_TONE - Sets/resets the generation of the continuous 22kHz tone.

37 This ioctl is used to set the generation of the continuous 22kHz tone.
38 This call requires read/write permissions.
40 Usually, satellite antenna subsystems require that the digital TV device
41 to send a 22kHz tone in order to select between high/low band on some
42 dual-band LNBf. It is also used to send signals to DiSEqC equipment, but
43 this is done using the DiSEqC ioctls.
45 .. attention:: If more than one device is connected to the same antenna,
46 setting a tone may interfere on other devices, as they may lose the
47 capability of selecting the band. So, it is recommended that applications
48 would change to SEC_TONE_OFF when the device is not used.
50 .. _fe-sec-tone-mode-t:
57 .. flat-table:: enum fe_sec_tone_mode
74 - Sends a 22kHz tone burst to the antenna
82 - Don't send a 22kHz tone to the antenna (except if the
83 FE_DISEQC_* ioctls are called)
89 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
90 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
91 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
