+VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY - VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY - Get or set tuner or modulator radio frequency
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY, struct v4l2_frequency *argp)``
+
+.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY
+
+``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY, const struct v4l2_frequency *argp)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency applications set
+the ``tuner`` field of a struct
+:c:type:`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
+:ref:`VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY <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 struct :c:type:`v4l2_frequency`
+and call the :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl with a pointer to this
+structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the driver
+assumes the closest possible value. However :ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` is a
+write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual new frequency.

+
+ * - __u32
+ - ``tuner``
+ - The tuner or modulator index number. This is the same value as in
+ the struct :c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and
+ the struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field, or
+ the struct :c:type:`v4l2_output` ``modulator`` field
+ and the struct :c:type:`v4l2_modulator` ``index``
+ field.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``type``
+ - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
+ :c:type:`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 :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
+ * - __u32
+ - ``frequency``
+ - Tuning frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
+ :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` or struct
+ :c:type:`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
+============
+
+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 ``tuner`` index is out of bounds or the value in the ``type``
+ field is wrong.
+
+EBUSY
+ A hardware seek is in progress.
