- <title>RDS Interface</title>
-
- <para>The Radio Data System transmits supplementary
-information in binary format, for example the station name or travel
-information, on an inaudible audio subcarrier of a radio program. This
-interface is aimed at devices capable of receiving and/or transmitting RDS
-information.</para>
-
- <para>For more information see the core RDS standard <xref linkend="iec62106" />
-and the RBDS standard <xref linkend="nrsc4" />.</para>
-
- <para>Note that the RBDS standard as is used in the USA is almost identical
-to the RDS standard. Any RDS decoder/encoder can also handle RBDS. Only some of the
-fields have slightly different meanings. See the RBDS standard for more
-information.</para>
-
- <para>The RBDS standard also specifies support for MMBS (Modified Mobile Search).
-This is a proprietary format which seems to be discontinued. The RDS interface does not
-support this format. Should support for MMBS (or the so-called 'E blocks' in general)
-be needed, then please contact the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;.</para>

- <section>
- <title>Querying Capabilities</title>
-
- <para>Devices supporting the RDS capturing API set
-the <constant>V4L2_CAP_RDS_CAPTURE</constant> flag in
-the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
-returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl. Any tuner that supports RDS
-will set the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS</constant> flag in
-the <structfield>capability</structfield> field of &v4l2-tuner;. If
-the driver only passes RDS blocks without interpreting the data
-the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_BLOCK_IO</constant> flag has to be
-set, see <link linkend="reading-rds-data">Reading RDS data</link>.
-For future use the
-flag <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_CONTROLS</constant> has also been
-defined. However, a driver for a radio tuner with this capability does
-not yet exist, so if you are planning to write such a driver you
-should discuss this on the linux-media mailing list: &v4l-ml;.</para>
-
- <para> Whether an RDS signal is present can be detected by looking
-at the <structfield>rxsubchans</structfield> field of &v4l2-tuner;:
-the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS</constant> will be set if RDS data
-was detected.</para>
-
- <para>Devices supporting the RDS output API
-set the <constant>V4L2_CAP_RDS_OUTPUT</constant> flag in
-the <structfield>capabilities</structfield> field of &v4l2-capability;
-returned by the &VIDIOC-QUERYCAP; ioctl.
-Any modulator that supports RDS will set the
-<constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS</constant> flag in the <structfield>capability</structfield>
-field of &v4l2-modulator;.
-In order to enable the RDS transmission one must set the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_SUB_RDS</constant>
-bit in the <structfield>txsubchans</structfield> field of &v4l2-modulator;.
-If the driver only passes RDS blocks without interpreting the data
-the <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_BLOCK_IO</constant> flag has to be set. If the
-tuner is capable of handling RDS entities like program identification codes and radio
-text, the flag <constant>V4L2_TUNER_CAP_RDS_CONTROLS</constant> should be set,
-see <link linkend="writing-rds-data">Writing RDS data</link> and
