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>
70	
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>

83	For SDR devices <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> field must be
84	initialized to zero.
85	The term 'modulator' means SDR transmitter in this context.</para>
