## Description

To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications set the tuner field of a &v4l2-frequency; to the respective tuner or modulator number (only input devices have tuners, only output devices have modulators), zero out the reserved array and call the `VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. The driver stores the current frequency in the frequency field.

To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications initialize the tuner, type and frequency fields, and the reserved array of a &v4l2-frequency; and call the `VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY` ioctl with a pointer to this structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the driver assumes the closest possible value. However `VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY` is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new frequency.

## struct v4l2_frequency

&cs-str;
__u32 | tuner | The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in the &v4l2-input; tuner field and the &v4l2-tuner; index field, or the &v4l2-output; modulator field and the &v4l2-modulator; index field.
__u32 | type | The tuner type. This is the same value as in the &v4l2-tuner; type field. The type must be set to `V4L2_TUNER_RADIO` for `/dev/radioX` device nodes, and to `V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV` for all others. Set this field to `V4L2_TUNER_RADIO` for modulators (currently only radio modulators are supported). See v4l2-tuner-type
__u32 | frequency | Tuning frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the &v4l2-tuner; or &v4l2-modulator; capability flag `V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW` is set, in units of 62.5 Hz. A 1 Hz unit is used when the capability flag `V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ` is set.
__u32 | reserved[8] | Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and applications must set the array to zero.

&return-value;

EINVAL

- The tuner index is out of bounds or the value in the type field is wrong.

EBUSY

- A hardware seek is in progress.
