    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To get the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
applications set the <structfield>tuner</structfield> field of a
&v4l2-frequency; to the respective tuner or modulator number (only
input devices have tuners, only output devices have modulators), zero
out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. The driver stores the current frequency in the
<structfield>frequency</structfield> field.</para>

    <para>To change the current tuner or modulator radio frequency
applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
<structfield>type</structfield> and
<structfield>frequency</structfield> fields, and the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-frequency; and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure. When the requested frequency is not possible the
driver assumes the closest possible value. However
<constant>VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY</constant> is a write-only ioctl, it does
not return the actual new frequency.</para>
