    <title>Description</title>

    <para>Start a hardware frequency seek from the current frequency.
To do this applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
<structfield>type</structfield>, <structfield>seek_upward</structfield>,
<structfield>wrap_around</structfield>, <structfield>spacing</structfield>,
<structfield>rangelow</structfield> and <structfield>rangehigh</structfield>
fields, and zero out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a
&v4l2-hw-freq-seek; and call the <constant>VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK</constant>
ioctl with a pointer to this structure.</para>

    <para>The <structfield>rangelow</structfield> and
<structfield>rangehigh</structfield> fields can be set to a non-zero value to
tell the driver to search a specific band. If the &v4l2-tuner;
<structfield>capability</structfield> field has the
<constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM</constant> flag set, these values
must fall within one of the bands returned by &VIDIOC-ENUM-FREQ-BANDS;. If
the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_HWSEEK_PROG_LIM</constant> flag is not set,
then these values must exactly match those of one of the bands returned by
&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.</para>

    <para>If an error is returned, then the original frequency will
    be restored.</para>

    <para>This ioctl is supported if the <constant>V4L2_CAP_HW_FREQ_SEEK</constant> capability is set.</para>

    <para>If this ioctl is called from a non-blocking filehandle, then &EAGAIN; is
    returned and no seek takes place.</para>
