34 This ioctl is used to set the generation of the continuous 22kHz tone.
35 This call requires read/write permissions.
37 Usually, satellite antenna subsystems require that the digital TV device
38 to send a 22kHz tone in order to select between high/low band on some
39 dual-band LNBf. It is also used to send signals to DiSEqC equipment, but
40 this is done using the DiSEqC ioctls.
42 .. attention:: If more than one device is connected to the same antenna,
43 setting a tone may interfere on other devices, as they may lose the
44 capability of selecting the band. So, it is recommended that applications
45 would change to SEC_TONE_OFF when the device is not used.
50 On success 0 is returned.
