<para>Enumerates the frequency bands that a tuner or modulator supports.
To do this applications initialize the <structfield>tuner</structfield>,
<structfield>type</structfield> and <structfield>index</structfield> fields,
and zero out the <structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-frequency-band; and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_FREQ_BANDS</constant> ioctl with a pointer
to this structure.</para>
<para>This ioctl is supported if the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_FREQ_BANDS</constant> capability
of the corresponding tuner/modulator is set.</para>

<entry>The tuner type. This is the same value as in the
&v4l2-tuner; <structfield>type</structfield> field. The type must be set
to <constant>V4L2_TUNER_RADIO</constant> for <filename>/dev/radioX</filename>
device nodes, and to <constant>V4L2_TUNER_ANALOG_TV</constant>
for all others. Set this field to <constant>V4L2_TUNER_RADIO</constant> for
modulators (currently only radio modulators are supported).
