VIDIOC_G_TUNER - VIDIOC_S_TUNER - Get or set tuner attributes
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_G_TUNER
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_G_TUNER, struct v4l2_tuner *argp)``
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_S_TUNER
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_S_TUNER, const struct v4l2_tuner *argp)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c: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.

: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.
* - ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_STEREO``
- 0x0010
- 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.
