    <title>Description</title>

    <para>To query the attributes of a modulator applications initialize
the <structfield>index</structfield> field and zero out the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array of a &v4l2-modulator; and
call the <constant>VIDIOC_G_MODULATOR</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 modulators
applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the
driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>.</para>

    <para>Modulators have two writable properties, an audio
modulation set and the radio frequency. To change the modulated audio
subprograms, applications initialize the <structfield>index
</structfield> and <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> fields and the
<structfield>reserved</structfield> array and call the
<constant>VIDIOC_S_MODULATOR</constant> ioctl. Drivers may choose a
different audio modulation if the request cannot be satisfied. However
this is a write-only ioctl, it does not return the actual audio
modulation selected.</para>

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