Libgpiod command-line utility

Usage

gpioinfo [OPTIONS] [line] ...

Overview

Print information about GPIO lines.

Lines are specified by name, or optionally by offset if the chip option is provided.

If no lines are specified then all lines are displayed.

Options

--by-name

treat lines as names even if they would parse as an offset

-c, --chip <chip>

restrict scope to a particular chip

-h, --help

display this help and exit

-s, --strict

check all lines - don't assume line names are unique

--unquoted

don't quote line or consumer names

-v, --version

output version information and exit

Chips:

A GPIO chip may be identified by number, name, or path. e.g. '0', 'gpiochip0', and '/dev/gpiochip0' all refer to the same chip.
