12 VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS - Enumerate supported frequency bands
18 .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS, struct v4l2_frequency_band *argp )
19 :name: VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS
26 File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
34 Enumerates the frequency bands that a tuner or modulator supports. To do
35 this applications initialize the ``tuner``, ``type`` and ``index``
36 fields, and zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
37 :c:type:`v4l2_frequency_band` and call the
38 :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS` ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
40 This ioctl is supported if the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_FREQ_BANDS`` capability
41 of the corresponding tuner/modulator is set.

55 - The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in
56 the struct :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and
57 the struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field, or
58 the struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` ``modulator`` field
59 and the struct :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``index``
63 - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
64 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. The type must be
65 set to ``V4L2_TUNER_RADIO`` for ``/dev/radioX`` device nodes, and
66 to ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` for all others. Set this field to
67 ``V4L2_TUNER_RADIO`` for modulators (currently only radio
68 modulators are supported). See :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
71 - Identifies the frequency band, set by the application.
74 - :cspan:`2` The tuner/modulator capability flags for this
75 frequency band, see :ref:`tuner-capability`. The
76 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` or ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` capability must
77 be the same for all frequency bands of the selected
78 tuner/modulator. So either all bands have that capability set, or
79 none of them have that capability.
82 - :cspan:`2` The lowest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or
83 if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units
84 of 62.5 Hz, for this frequency band. A 1 Hz unit is used when the
85 ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set.
88 - :cspan:`2` The highest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz,
89 or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in
90 units of 62.5 Hz, for this frequency band. A 1 Hz unit is used
91 when the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set.
94 - :cspan:`2` The supported modulation systems of this frequency
95 band. See :ref:`band-modulation`.
99 Currently only one modulation system per frequency band
100 is supported. More work will need to be done if multiple
101 modulation systems are possible. Contact the linux-media
103 (`https://linuxtv.org/lists.php <https://linuxtv.org/lists.php>`__)
104 if you need such functionality.
107 - Reserved for future extensions.
109 Applications and drivers must set the array to zero.

136 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
137 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
