GPIOCLI(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gpiocli — detect 👀 it's the gpiocli-detect situation, bestie, page 1 of the manual

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the whole vibe 💅

🌈 Usage:

gpiocli detect [OPTION…] [chip]...

Basically: list your GPIO chips, print their labels, and show how many GPIO lines each one has. That's it, that's the task, and it ate 🔥

🎀 Help Options:

• -h, --help — show help options 💖 (yes it's right there, be a little lazy, it's fine)

---

Quick little PSA about chip names: chips can be identified by name or by number — so for example '0' and 'gpiochip0' are literally referring to the exact same chip. Same chip, two outfits, iconic 👑

And if you specify no chips at all? Then it just displays info for all the chips in the system. Go big or go home, no cap 🫶

D-Bus API version: 1
