+FE_SET_FRONTEND
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: FE_SET_FRONTEND
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, FE_SET_FRONTEND, struct dvb_frontend_parameters *p)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``p``
+ Points to parameters for tuning operation.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl call starts a tuning operation using specified parameters.
+The result of this call will be successful if the parameters were valid
+and the tuning could be initiated. The result of the tuning operation in
+itself, however, will arrive asynchronously as an event (see
+documentation for :ref:`FE_GET_EVENT` and
+FrontendEvent.) If a new :ref:`FE_SET_FRONTEND`
+operation is initiated before the previous one was completed, the
+previous operation will be aborted in favor of the new one. This command
+requires read/write access to the device.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned.
+
+On error -1 is returned, and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately.
