************************************
ioctl VIDIOC_G_TUNER, VIDIOC_S_TUNER
************************************

Name
====

VIDIOC_G_TUNER - VIDIOC_S_TUNER - Get or set tuner attributes


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_G_TUNER, struct v4l2_tuner *argp )
    :name: VIDIOC_G_TUNER

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_S_TUNER, const struct v4l2_tuner *argp )
    :name: VIDIOC_S_TUNER


Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

``argp``
    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner`.


Description
===========

To query the attributes of a tuner applications initialize the ``index``
field and zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` and call the ``VIDIOC_G_TUNER`` ioctl
with a pointer to this structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure
or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the index is out of bounds. To
enumerate all tuners applications shall begin at index zero,
incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``.

Tuners have two writable properties, the audio mode and the radio
frequency. To change the audio mode, applications initialize the
``index``, ``audmode`` and ``reserved`` fields and call the
``VIDIOC_S_TUNER`` ioctl. This will *not* change the current tuner,
which is determined by the current video input. Drivers may choose a
different audio mode if the requested mode is invalid or unsupported.
Since this is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actually
selected audio mode.

:ref:`SDR <sdr>` specific tuner types are ``V4L2_TUNER_SDR`` and
``V4L2_TUNER_RF``. For SDR devices ``audmode`` field must be initialized
to zero. The term 'tuner' means SDR receiver in this context.

To change the radio frequency the
:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl is available.

.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_tuner
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0

    * - __u32
      - ``index``
      - :cspan:`1` Identifies the tuner, set by the application.
    * - __u8
      - ``name``\ [32]
      - :cspan:`1`

	Name of the tuner, a NUL-terminated ASCII string.

	This information is intended for the user.
    * - __u32
      - ``type``
      - :cspan:`1` Type of the tuner, see :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`.
    * - __u32
      - ``capability``
      - :cspan:`1`

	Tuner capability flags, see :ref:`tuner-capability`. Audio flags
	indicate the ability to decode audio subprograms. They will *not*
	change, for example with the current video standard.

	When the structure refers to a radio tuner the
	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG1``, ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG2`` and
	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_NORM`` flags can't be used.

	If multiple frequency bands are supported, then ``capability`` is
	the union of all ``capability`` fields of each struct
	:c:type:`v4l2_frequency_band`.
    * - __u32
      - ``rangelow``
      - :cspan:`1` The lowest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or
	if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in units
	of 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ``
	is set, in units of 1 Hz. If multiple frequency bands are
	supported, then ``rangelow`` is the lowest frequency of all the
	frequency bands.
    * - __u32
      - ``rangehigh``
      - :cspan:`1` The highest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz,
	or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in
	units of 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag
	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set, in units of 1 Hz. If multiple
	frequency bands are supported, then ``rangehigh`` is the highest
	frequency of all the frequency bands.
    * - __u32
      - ``rxsubchans``
      - :cspan:`1`

	Some tuners or audio decoders can determine the received audio
	subprograms by analyzing audio carriers, pilot tones or other
	indicators. To pass this information drivers set flags defined in
	:ref:`tuner-rxsubchans` in this field. For example:
    * -
      -
      - ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO``
      - receiving mono audio
    * -
      -
      - ``STEREO | SAP``
      - receiving stereo audio and a secondary audio program
    * -
      -
      - ``MONO | STEREO``
      - receiving mono or stereo audio, the hardware cannot distinguish
    * -
      -
      - ``LANG1 | LANG2``
      - receiving bilingual audio
    * -
      -
      - ``MONO | STEREO | LANG1 | LANG2``
      - receiving mono, stereo or bilingual audio
    * -
      -
      - :cspan:`1`

	When the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_STEREO``, ``_LANG1``, ``_LANG2`` or
	``_SAP`` flag is cleared in the ``capability`` field, the
	corresponding ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_`` flag must not be set here.

	This field is valid only if this is the tuner of the current video
	input, or when the structure refers to a radio tuner.
    * - __u32
      - ``audmode``
      - :cspan:`1`

	The selected audio mode, see :ref:`tuner-audmode` for valid
	values. The audio mode does not affect audio subprogram detection,
	and like a :ref:`control` it does not automatically
	change unless the requested mode is invalid or unsupported. See
	:ref:`tuner-matrix` for possible results when the selected and
	received audio programs do not match.

	Currently this is the only field of struct
	struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` applications can change.
    * - __u32
      - ``signal``
      - :cspan:`1` The signal strength if known.

	Ranging from 0 to 65535. Higher values indicate a better signal.
    * - __s32
      - ``afc``
      - :cspan:`1` Automatic frequency control.

	When the ``afc`` value is negative, the frequency is too
	low, when positive too high.
    * - __u32
      - ``reserved``\ [4]
      - :cspan:`1` Reserved for future extensions.

	Drivers and applications must set the array to zero.

    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW``
      - 0x0001
      - When set, tuning frequencies are expressed in units of 62.5 Hz
	instead of 62.5 kHz.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_NORM``
      - 0x0002
      - This is a multi-standard tuner; the video standard can or must be
	switched. (B/G PAL tuners for example are typically not considered
	multi-standard because the video standard is automatically
	determined from the frequency band.) The set of supported video
	standards is available from the struct
	:c:type:`v4l2_input` pointing to this tuner, see the
	description of ioctl :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT`
	for details. Only ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this
	capability.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_BOUNDED``
      - 0x0004
      - If set, then this tuner supports the hardware seek functionality
	where the seek stops when it reaches the end of the frequency
	range.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_WRAP``
      - 0x0008
      - If set, then this tuner supports the hardware seek functionality
	where the seek wraps around when it reaches the end of the
	frequency range.

      - Stereo audio reception is supported.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG1``
      - 0x0040
      - Reception of the primary language of a bilingual audio program is
	supported. Bilingual audio is a feature of two-channel systems,
	transmitting the primary language monaural on the main audio
	carrier and a secondary language monaural on a second carrier.
	Only ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this capability.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG2``
      - 0x0020
      - Reception of the secondary language of a bilingual audio program
	is supported. Only ``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this
	capability.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_SAP``
      - 0x0020
      - Reception of a secondary audio program is supported. This is a
	feature of the BTSC system which accompanies the NTSC video
	standard. Two audio carriers are available for mono or stereo
	transmissions of a primary language, and an independent third
	carrier for a monaural secondary language. Only
	``V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV`` tuners can have this capability.

	.. note::

	   The ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LANG2`` and ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_SAP``
	   flags are synonyms. ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_SAP`` applies when the tuner
	   supports the ``V4L2_STD_NTSC_M`` video standard.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS``
      - 0x0080
      - RDS capture is supported. This capability is only valid for radio
	tuners.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_BLOCK_IO``
      - 0x0100
      - The RDS data is passed as unparsed RDS blocks.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_CONTROLS``
      - 0x0200
      - The RDS data is parsed by the hardware and set via controls.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_FREQ_BANDS``
      - 0x0400
      - The :ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`
	ioctl can be used to enumerate the available frequency bands.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM``
      - 0x0800
      - The range to search when using the hardware seek functionality is
	programmable, see
	:ref:`VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK` for
	details.
    * - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ``
      - 0x1000
      - When set, tuning frequencies are expressed in units of 1 Hz
	instead of 62.5 kHz.

Return Value
============

On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.

EINVAL
    The struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` is out of
    bounds.

.. [#f1]
   This mode has been added in Linux 2.6.17 and may not be supported by
   older drivers.

.. [#f2]
   Playback of both languages in ``MODE_STEREO`` is deprecated. In the
   future drivers should produce only the primary language in this mode.
   Applications should request ``MODE_LANG1_LANG2`` to record both
   languages or a stereo signal.
