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. + + + .. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.3cm}|p{3.0cm}|p{6.6cm}|p{6.6cm}| + +.. c:type:: v4l2_tuner + +.. cssclass:: longtable + +.. 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`.
