+VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK - Perform a hardware frequency seek
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct v4l2_hw_freq_seek *argp )
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Start a hardware frequency seek from the current frequency. To do this
+applications initialize the ``tuner``, ``type``, ``seek_upward``,
+``wrap_around``, ``spacing``, ``rangelow`` and ``rangehigh`` fields, and
+zero out the ``reserved`` array of a struct
+:ref:`v4l2_hw_freq_seek <v4l2-hw-freq-seek>` and call the
+``VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` ioctl with a pointer to this structure.
+
+The ``rangelow`` and ``rangehigh`` fields can be set to a non-zero value
+to tell the driver to search a specific band. If the struct
+:ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``capability`` field has the
+``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM`` flag set, these values must fall
+within one of the bands returned by
+:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`. If the
+``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM`` flag is not set, then these values
+must exactly match those of one of the bands returned by
+:ref:`VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS`. If the
+current frequency of the tuner does not fall within the selected band it
+will be clamped to fit in the band before the seek is started.
+
+If an error is returned, then the original frequency will be restored.
+
+This ioctl is supported if the ``V4L2_CAP_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` capability is
+set.
+
+If this ioctl is called from a non-blocking filehandle, then ``EAGAIN``
+error code is returned and no seek takes place.

+
+
+ - .. row 1
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``tuner``
+
+ - The tuner index number. This is the same value as in the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_input <v4l2-input>` ``tuner`` field and the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``index`` field.
+
+ - .. row 2
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``type``
+
+ - The tuner type. This is the same value as in the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``type`` field. See
+ :ref:`v4l2-tuner-type`
+
+ - .. row 3
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``seek_upward``
+
+ - If non-zero, seek upward from the current frequency, else seek
+ downward.
+
+ - .. row 4
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``wrap_around``
+
+ - If non-zero, wrap around when at the end of the frequency range,
+ else stop seeking. The struct :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>`
+ ``capability`` field will tell you what the hardware supports.
+
+ - .. row 5
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``spacing``
+
+ - If non-zero, defines the hardware seek resolution in Hz. The
+ driver selects the nearest value that is supported by the device.
+ If spacing is zero a reasonable default value is used.
+
+ - .. row 6
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``rangelow``
+
+ - If non-zero, the lowest tunable frequency of the band to search in
+ units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``capability`` field has the
+ ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
+ struct :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``capability`` field has
+ the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
+ ``rangelow`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
+
+ - .. row 7
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``rangehigh``
+
+ - If non-zero, the highest tunable frequency of the band to search
+ in units of 62.5 kHz, or if the struct
+ :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``capability`` field has the
+ ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_LOW`` flag set, in units of 62.5 Hz or if the
+ struct :ref:`v4l2_tuner <v4l2-tuner>` ``capability`` field has
+ the ``V4L2_TUNER_CAP_1HZ`` flag set, in units of 1 Hz. If
+ ``rangehigh`` is zero a reasonable default value is used.
+
+ - .. row 8
+
+ - __u32
+
+ - ``reserved``\ [5]
+
+ - Reserved for future extensions. Applications must set the array to
+ zero.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EINVAL
+ The ``tuner`` index is out of bounds, the ``wrap_around`` value is
+ not supported or one of the values in the ``type``, ``rangelow`` or
+ ``rangehigh`` fields is wrong.
+
+EAGAIN
+ Attempted to call ``VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK`` with the filehandle in
+ non-blocking mode.
+
+ENODATA
+ The hardware seek found no channels.
+
+EBUSY
+ Another hardware seek is already in progress.
