.Fl a
.Nm radioctl
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Op Fl n
.Ar name
.Nm radioctl
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Op Fl n
.Fl w
.Ar name=value
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
command displays or sets various variables that affect the radio tuner
behavior. If a variable is present on the command line,
.Nm
prints the current value of this variable for the specified device.
By default,
.Nm
operates on the

a /dev/radio
device.

p
The options are as follows:
l -tag -width Ds t Fl a Print all device variables and their current values.
t Fl w Ar name=value Attempt to set the specified variable
.Ar name
to
.Ar value .
t Fl f Ar file Specify an alternative radio tuner device.
t Fl n Suppress printing of the variable name.
.El

p
Values may be specified in either absolute or relative forms.
The relative form is indicated by a prefix of
.Ql +
or
.Ql -
to denote an increase or decrease, respectively.

p
The exact set of controls that can be manipulated depends on
the tuner.
The general format (in both getting and setting a value) is

p
.Va name = value

p
The
.Va name
indicates what part of the tuner the control affects.

p
Write only controls:
l -tag -width search t search Only for cards that allow hardware search. Can be
.Ql up
or
.Ql down .
.El

p
Read-write controls:
l -tag -width volume t frequency Float value from 87.5 to 108.0.
t volume Integer value from 0 to 255.
t mute Mutes the card (volume is not affected),
.Ql on
or
.Ql off .
t mono Forces card output to mono,
.Ql on
or
.Ql off .
Only for cards that allow forced mono.
t reference Reference frequency. Can be 25 kHz, 50 kHz and 100 kHz. Not all cards allow
to change the reference frequency.
t sensitivity Station locking sensitivity. Can be 5 mkV, 10 mkV, 30 mkV and 150 mkV. Not all
cards allow to change the station locking sensitivity.
.El

p
All the remaining controls (signal, stereo and card capabilities) are read-only
and can be viewed using option
.Fl a .
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
The following environment variable affects the execution of
.Nm radioctl :
l -tag -width RADIODEVICE t Ev RADIODEVICE The radio tuner device to use.
.El
.Sh FILES
l -tag -width /dev/radio t Pa /dev/radio radio tuner device
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
The command

p
.Dl "radioctl -a"

p
can produce
d -literal volume=255
frequency=106.30MHz
mute=off
reference=50kHz
signal=on
stereo=on
card capabilities:
 manageable mono/stereo
