Drivers fill the rest of the structure 42or return an ``EINVAL`` error code when the index is out of bounds. To 43enumerate all tuners applications shall begin at index zero, 44incrementing by one until the driver returns ``EINVAL``. 45 46Tuners have two writable properties, the audio mode and the radio 47frequency. To change the audio mode, applications initialize the 48``index``, ``audmode`` and ``reserved`` fields and call the 49``VIDIOC_S_TUNER`` ioctl. This will *not* change the current tuner, 50which is determined by the current video input. Drivers may choose a 51different audio mode if the requested mode is invalid or unsupported. 52Since this is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actually 53selected audio mode. 54 55:ref:`SDR <sdr>` specific tuner types are ``V4L2_TUNER_SDR`` and 56``V4L2_TUNER_RF``. For SDR devices ``audmode`` field must be initialized 57to zero. The term 'tuner' means SDR receiver in this context. 58 59To change the radio frequency the 60:ref:`VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY <VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY>` ioctl is available. 61 62 .. tabularcolumns:: |p{1.3cm}|p{3.0cm}|p{7.0cm}|p{5.8cm}| 63 64.. c:type:: v4l2_tuner 65 66.. cssclass:: longtable 67 68.. flat-table:: struct v4l2_tuner 69 :header-rows: 0 70 :stub-columns: 0 71 72 * - __u32 73 - ``index`` 74 - :cspan:`1` Identifies the tuner, set by the application. 75 * - __u8 76 - ``name``\ [32] 77 - :cspan:`1` 78 79 Name of the tuner, a NUL-terminated ASCII string. 80 81 This information is intended for the user. 82 * - __u32 83 - ``type`` 84 - :cspan:`1` Type of the tuner, see :c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`. 85 * - __u32 86 - ``capability`` 87 - :cspan:`1` 88 89 Tuner capability flags, see :ref:`tuner-capability`.

If multiple frequency bands are 106 supported, then ``rangelow`` is the lowest frequency of all the 107 frequency bands. 108 * - __u32 109 - ``rangehigh`` 110 - :cspan:`1` The highest tunable frequency in units of 62.5 kHz, 111 or if the ``capability`` flag ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` is set, in 112 units of 62.5 Hz, or if the ``capability`` flag 113 ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` is set, in units of 1 Hz.
