NAME
     gpioctl -- control GPIO devices

SYNOPSIS
     gpioctl [-q] device attach device offset mask [flag]
     gpioctl [-q] device pin [0 | 1 | 2]
     gpioctl [-q] device pin [on | off | toggle]
     gpioctl [-q] device pin set [flags] [name]
     gpioctl [-q] device pin unset

DESCRIPTION
     The gpioctl program allows manipulation of GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) device pins.  Such devices can be either part of the chipset
     or embedded CPU, or a separate chip.  The usual way of using GPIO is to connect some simple devices such as LEDs and 1-wire thermal sensors
     to its pins.

     Each GPIO device has an associated device file in the /dev directory.  device can be specified with or without the /dev prefix.  For example,
     /dev/gpio0 or gpio0.

     GPIO pins can be either ``read'' or ``written'' with the values of logical 0 or 1.  If only a pin number is specified on the command line,
     the pin state will be read from the GPIO controller and displayed.  To write to a pin, a value must be specified after the pin number.  Val-
     ues can be either 0 or 1.	A value of 2 ``toggles'' the pin, i.e. changes its state to the opposite.  Instead of the numerical values, the
     word on, off, or toggle can be used.

     To

     Only pins that have been configured at securelevel 0, typically during system startup, are accessible once the securelevel has been raised.
     Pins can be given symbolic names for easier use.  Besides using individual pins, device drivers that use GPIO pins can be attached to a
     gpio(4) device using the gpioctl command.	Such drivers can be detached at runtime using the drvctl(8) command.

     The following configuration flags are supported by the GPIO framework:

	   in	   input direction
	   out	   output direction
	   inout   bi-directional
	   od	   open-drain output
	   pp	   push-pull output
	   tri	   tri-state (output disabled)
	   pu	   internal pull-up enabled
	   pd	   internal pull-down enabled
	   iin	   invert input
	   iout    invert output
	   pulsate
		   pulsate output at a hardware-defined frequency and duty cycle

     Note that not all the flags may be supported by the particular GPIO controller.

     When executed with only the gpio(4) device name as argument, gpioctl reads information about the GPIO device and displays it.  At securelevel
     0 the number of physically available pins is displayed, at higher securelevels the number of configured (set) pins is displayed.

     The options are as follows:

     -q      Operate quietly i.e. nothing is printed to stdout.

FILES
     /dev/gpiou  GPIO device unit u file.

EXAMPLES
     Configure pin 20 to have push-pull output:

	   # gpioctl gpio0 20 set out pp

     Write logical 1 to pin 20:

	   # gpioctl gpio0 20 1

     Attach a onewire(4) bus on a gpioow(4) device on pin 4:

	   # gpioctl gpio0 attach gpioow 4 0x01

     Detach the gpioow0 device:

	   # drvctl -d gpioow0

     Configure pin 5 as output and name it error_led:

	   # gpioctl gpio0 5 set out error_led

     Toggle the error_led:

	   # gpioctl gpio0 error_led 2
