63	    <para>To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
64	applications set the <structfield>tuner</structfield> field of a
65	&v4l2-frequency; to the respective tuner or modulator number (only
66	input devices have tuners, only output devices have modulators), zero
67	out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and
68	call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
69	to this structure. The driver stores the current frequency in the
70	<structfield>frequency</structfield> field.</para>
71	
72	    <para>To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
73	applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
74	<structfield>type</structfield> and
75	<structfield>frequency</structfield> fields, and the
76	<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-frequency; and
77	call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
78	to this structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the
79	driver assumes the closest possible value. However
80	<constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> is a write-only ioctl, it does
81	not return the actual new frequency.</para>
