52    <para>Start a hardware frequency seek from the current frequency.
53To do this applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
54<structfield>type</structfield>, <structfield>seek_upward</structfield>,
55<structfield>wrap_around</structfield>, <structfield>spacing</structfield>,
56<structfield>rangelow</structfield> and <structfield>rangehigh</structfield>
57fields, and zero out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a
58&v4l2-hw-freq-seek; and call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK</constant>
59ioctl with a pointer to this structure.</para>
60
61    <para>The <structfield>rangelow</structfield> and
62<structfield>rangehigh</structfield> fields can be set to a non-zero value to
63tell the driver to search a specific band. If the &v4l2-tuner;
64<structfield>capability</structfield> field has the
65<constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM</constant> flag set, these values
66must fall within one of the bands returned by &VIDIOC-ENUM-FREQ-BANDS;. If
67the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM</constant> flag is not set,
68then these values must exactly match those of one of the bands returned by
69&VIDIOC-ENUM-FREQ-BANDS;. If the current frequency of the tuner does not fall
70within the selected band it will be clamped to fit in the band before the
71seek is started.</para>
72
73    <para>If an error is returned, then the original frequency will
74    be restored.</para>
75
76    <para>This ioctl is supported if the <constant>V4L2_CAP_HW_FREQ_SEEK</constant> capability is set.</para>
77
78    <para>If this ioctl is called from a non-blocking filehandle, then &EAGAIN; is
79    returned and no seek takes place.</para>
