22Arguments
23=========
24
25``fd``
26    File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
27
28``argp``
29    Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_hw_freq_seek`.

32Description
33===========
34
35Start a hardware frequency seek from the current frequency. To do this
36applications initialize the ``tuner``, ``type``, ``seek_upward``,
37``wrap_around``, ``spacing``, ``rangelow`` and ``rangehigh`` fields, and
38zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
39:c:type:`v4l2_hw_freq_seek` and call the
40``VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
41
42The ``rangelow`` and ``rangehigh`` fields can be set to a non-zero value
43to tell the driver to search a specific band. If the struct
44:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
45``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM`` flag set, these values must fall
46within one of the bands returned by
47:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`. If the
48``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM`` flag is not set, then these values
49must exactly match those of one of the bands returned by
50:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`. If the
51current frequency of the tuner does not fall within the selected band it
52will be clamped to fit in the band before the seek is started.
53
54If an error is returned, then the original frequency will be restored.
55
56This ioctl is supported if the ``V4L2_CAP_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` capability is
57set.
58
59If this ioctl is called from a non-blocking filehandle, then ``EAGAIN``
60error code is returned and no seek takes place.

72    * - __u32
73      - ``tuner``
74      - The tuner index number. This is the same value as in the struct
75	:c:type:`v4l2_input` ``tuner`` field and the struct
76	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``index`` field.
77    * - __u32
78      - ``type``
79      - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
80	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``type`` field. See
81	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner_type`
82    * - __u32
83      - ``seek_upward``
84      - If non-zero, seek upward from the current frequency, else seek
85	downward.
86    * - __u32
87      - ``wrap_around``
88      - If non-zero, wrap around when at the end of the frequency range,
89	else stop seeking. The struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner`
90	``capability`` field will tell you what the hardware supports.
91    * - __u32
92      - ``spacing``
93      - If non-zero, defines the hardware seek resolution in Hz. The
94	driver selects the nearest value that is supported by the device.
95	If spacing is zero a reasonable default value is used.
96    * - __u32
97      - ``rangelow``
98      - If non-zero, the lowest tunable frequency of the band to search in
99	units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
100	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
101	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
102	struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
103	the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
104	``rangelow`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
105    * - __u32
106      - ``rangehigh``
107      - If non-zero, the highest tunable frequency of the band to search
108	in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
109	:c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has the
110	``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
111	struct :c:type:`v4l2_tuner` ``capability`` field has
112	the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
113	``rangehigh`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
114    * - __u32
115      - ``reserved``\ [5]
116      - Reserved for future extensions. Applications must set the array to
117	zero.

120Return Value
121============
122
123On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
124appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
125:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
126
127EINVAL
128    The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds, the ``wrap_around`` value is
129    not supported or one of the values in the ``type``, ``rangelow`` or
130    ``rangehigh`` fields is wrong.
131
132EAGAIN
133    Attempted to call ``VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` with the filehandle in
134    non-blocking mode.
135
136ENODATA
137    The hardware seek found no channels.
138
139EBUSY
140    Another hardware seek is already in progress.
