Description-en: Tools for interacting with Linux GPIO character device - binary
libgpiod encapsulates the ioctl calls and data structures
behind a straightforward API. This new character device
interface guarantees all allocated resources are freed after
closing the device file descriptor and adds several new
features that are not present in the obsolete sysfs interface
(like event polling, setting/reading multiple values at once or
open-source and open-drain GPIOs).
.
This package contains the gpiod binary tools.
