.. _VIDIOC_G_TUNER:

************************************
ioctl VIDIOC_G_TUNER, VIDIOC_S_TUNER
************************************

Name
====

VIDIOC_G_TUNER - VIDIOC_S_TUNER - Get or set tuner attributes


Synopsis
========

.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct v4l2_tuner *argp )

.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, const struct v4l2_tuner *argp )


Arguments
=========

``fd``
    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.

``request``
    VIDIOC_G_TUNER, VIDIOC_S_TUNER

``argp``


Description
===========

To query the attributes of a tuner applications initialize the ``index``
field and zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
:ref:`v4l2_tuner <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.


.. _v4l2-tuner:

.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_tuner
    :header-rows:  0
    :stub-columns: 0


    -  .. row 1

       -  __u32

       -  ``index``

       -  :cspan:`1` Identifies the tuner, set by the application.

    -  .. row 2

       -  __u8

       -  ``name``\ \[32\]

       -  :cspan:`1`

	  Name of the tuner, a NUL-terminated ASCII string. This information
	  is intended for the user.

    -  .. row 3

       -  __u32

       -  ``type``

       -  :cspan:`1` Type of the tuner, see :ref:`v4l2-tuner-type`.

    -  .. row 4

       -  __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
	  :ref:`v4l2_frequency_band <v4l2-frequency-band>`.

    -  .. row 5

       -  __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.

    -  .. row 6

       -  __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.

    -  .. row 7

       -  __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:

    -  .. row 8

       -
       -
       -  ``V4L2_TUNER_SUB_MONO``

       -  receiving mono audio

    -  .. row 9

       -
       -
       -  ``STEREO | SAP``

       -  receiving stereo audio and a secondary audio program

    -  .. row 10

       -
       -
       -  ``MONO | STEREO``

       -  receiving mono or stereo audio, the hardware cannot distinguish

    -  .. row 11

       -
       -
       -  ``LANG1 | LANG2``

       -  receiving bilingual audio

    -  .. row 12

       -
       -
       -  ``MONO | STEREO | LANG1 | LANG2``

       -  receiving mono, stereo or bilingual audio

    -  .. row 13

       -
       -
       -  :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.

    -  .. row 14

       -  __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
	  :ref:`struct v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` applications can change.

    -  .. row 15

       -  __u32

       -  ``signal``

       -  :cspan:`1` The signal strength if known, ranging from 0 to
	  65535. Higher values indicate a better signal.

    -  .. row 16

       -  __s32

       -  ``afc``

       -  :cspan:`1` Automatic frequency control: When the ``afc`` value
	  is negative, the frequency is too low, when positive too high.

    -  .. row 17

       -  __u32

       -  ``reserved``\ \[4\]

       -  :cspan:`1` Reserved for future extensions. Drivers and
	  applications must set the array to zero.

    -  .. row 1

       -  ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW``

       -  0x0001

       -  When set, tuning frequencies are expressed in units of 62.5 Hz
	  instead of 62.5 kHz.

    -  .. row 2

       -  ``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
	  :ref:`v4l2_input <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.

    -  .. row 3

       -  ``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.

    -  .. row 4

       -  ``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.

    -  .. row 5

       -  ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_STEREO``

       -  0x0010

       -  Stereo audio reception is supported.

    -  .. row 6

       -  ``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.

    -  .. row 7

       -  ``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.

    -  .. row 8

       -  ``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

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 :ref:`v4l2_tuner <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.
