****************************
ioctl VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS
****************************

Name
====

VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS - Enumerate supported frequency bands


Synopsis
========

.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS, struct v4l2_frequency_band *argp )
    :name: VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS


Arguments
=========

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

``argp``


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

Enumerates the frequency bands that a tuner or modulator supports. To do
this applications initialize the ``tuner``, ``type`` and ``index``
fields, and zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
:c:type:`v4l2_frequency_band` and call the
:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS` ioctl with a pointer to this structure.

This ioctl is supported if the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_FREQ_BANDS`` capability
of the corresponding tuner/modulator is set.

    * - __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
      - ``index``
      - Identifies the frequency band, set by the application.
    * - __u32
      - ``capability``
      - :cspan:`2` The tuner/modulator capability flags for this
	frequency band, see :ref:`tuner-capability`. The
	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` or ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` capability must
	be the same for all frequency bands of the selected
	tuner/modulator. So either all bands have that capability set, or
	none of them have that capability.
    * - __u32
      - ``rangelow``
      - :cspan:`2` 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, for this frequency band. A 1 Hz unit is used when the
	``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set.
    * - __u32
      - ``rangehigh``
      - :cspan:`2` 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, for this frequency band. A 1 Hz unit is used
	when the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set.
    * - __u32
      - ``modulation``
      - :cspan:`2` The supported modulation systems of this frequency
	band. See :ref:`band-modulation`.

	.. note::

	   Currently only one modulation system per frequency band
	   is supported. More work will need to be done if multiple
	   modulation systems are possible. Contact the linux-media
	   mailing list
	   (`https://linuxtv.org/lists.php <https://linuxtv.org/lists.php>`__)
	   if you need such functionality.
    * - __u32
      - ``reserved``\ [9]
      - Reserved for future extensions.

	Applications and drivers 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`` or ``index`` is out of bounds or the ``type`` field is
    wrong.
