58 <para>Enumerates the frequency bands that a tuner or modulator supports.
59To do this applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
60<structfield>type</structfield> and <structfield>index</structfield> fields,
61and zero out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-frequency-band; and
62call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS</constant> ioctl with a pointer
63to this structure.</para>

65 <para>This ioctl is supported if the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_FREQ_BANDS</constant> capability
66 of the corresponding tuner/modulator is set.</para>
