13 VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS - Enumerate supported frequency bands

20 ``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS, struct v4l2_frequency_band *argp)``
26 File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
29 Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency_band`.
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.

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

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