20``int ioctl(int fd, LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER, __u32 *frequency)``
21
22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by open().
27
28``frequency``
29    Frequency of the carrier that modulates PWM data, in Hz.

31Description
32===========
33
34Set receive carrier used to modulate IR PWM pulses and spaces.

36.. note::
37
38   If called together with :ref:`LIRC_SET_REC_CARRIER_RANGE`, this ioctl
39   sets the upper bound frequency that will be recognized by the device.

41Return Value
42============
43
44On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
45appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
