62 <para>To query the attributes of a modulator applications initialize
63 the <structfield>index</structfield> field and zero out the
64 <structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-modulator; and
65 call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR</constant> ioctl with a pointer
66 to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
67 &EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all modulators
68 applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the
69 driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>
71 <para>Modulators have two writable properties, an audio
72 modulation set and the radio frequency. To change the modulated audio
73 subprograms, applications initialize the <structfield>index
74 </structfield> and <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> fields and the
75 <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and call the
76 <constant>VIDIOC_S_MODULATOR</constant> ioctl. Drivers may choose a
77 different audio modulation if the request cannot be satisfied. However
78 this is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual audio
79 modulation selected.</para>

129 <entry>With this field applications can determine how

131 defined in <xref linkend="modulator-txsubchans" />. Note the tuner
132 <structfield>rxsubchans</structfield> flags are reused, but the
133 semantics are different. Video output devices are assumed to have an
134 analog or PCM audio input with 1-3 channels. The
135 <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> flags select one or more
136 channels for modulation, together with some audio subprogram
137 indicator, for example a stereo pilot tone.</entry>
