Description:
|
||||
The character device files /dev/gpiochip* are the interface
|
||||
between GPIO chips and userspace.
|
||||
|
||||
The ioctl(2)-based ABI is defined and documented in
|
||||
[include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h>.
|
||||
|
||||
The following file operations are supported:
|
||||
|
||||
open(2)
|
||||
Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
|
||||
|
||||
ioctl(2)
|
||||
Initiate various actions.
|
||||
See the inline documentation in [include/uapi]<linux/gpio.h>
|
||||
for descriptions of all ioctls.
|
||||
|
||||
close(2)
|
||||
Stops and free up the I/O contexts that was associated
|
||||
with the file descriptor.

||||

Users: TBD
