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

72 - The tuner index number. This is the same value as in the struct
73 :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and the struct
74 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field.
77 - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
78 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. See
79 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
82 - If non-zero, seek upward from the current frequency, else seek
86 - If non-zero, wrap around when at the end of the frequency range,
87 else stop seeking. The struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner`
88 ``capability`` field will tell you what the hardware supports.
91 - If non-zero, defines the hardware seek resolution in Hz. The
92 driver selects the nearest value that is supported by the device.
93 If spacing is zero a reasonable default value is used.
96 - If non-zero, the lowest tunable frequency of the band to search in
97 units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
98 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
99 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
100 struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
101 the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
102 ``rangelow`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
105 - If non-zero, the highest tunable frequency of the band to search
106 in 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 ``rangehigh`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
114 - Reserved for future extensions. Applications must set the array to
120 On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
121 appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
122 :ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
125 The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds, the ``wrap_around`` value is
126 not supported or one of the values in the ``type``, ``rangelow`` or
127 ``rangehigh`` fields is wrong.
