    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To query the attributes of a tuner applications initialize the
<structfield>index</structfield> field and zero out the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-tuner; and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_G_TUNER</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this
structure. Drivers fill the rest of the structure or return an
&EINVAL; when the index is out of bounds. To enumerate all tuners
applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the
driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>

    <para>Tuners have two writable properties, the audio mode and
the radio frequency. To change the audio mode, applications initialize
the <structfield>index</structfield>,
<structfield>audmode</structfield> and
<structfield>reserved</structfield> fields and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_S_TUNER</constant> ioctl. This will
<emphasis>not</emphasis> change the current tuner, which is determined
by the current video input. Drivers may choose a different audio mode
if the requested mode is invalid or unsupported. Since this is a
<!-- FIXME -->write-only ioctl, it does not return the actually
selected audio mode.</para>

    <para>To change the radio frequency the &VIDIOC-S-FREQUENCY; ioctl
is available.</para>
