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