NAME
gpiolock -- support for multi-position keylocks attached to GPIO pins
SYNOPSIS
gpiolock* at gpio? offset ? mask ? gpiolock* at gpio?
DESCRIPTION
The gpiolock driver allows connecting of multi-position keylocks over GPIO pins. The keylock driver registers with an in-kernel keylock sup- porting system and provides kauth(9) support through an experimental security model. The keylock state can be queried using the hw.keylock sysctl variables. Only locks with 2-4 positions are currently supported. The pin number is specified in the kernel configuration with the offset locator. The mask locator denotes the pins used for the lock (minimum 2, maximum 4 pins are used). The offset and mask can also be specified when gpiolock is attached at runtime using the GPIOATTACH ioctl(2) on the gpio(4) device.
