GPIOCLI(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to gpiocli, section 1 of the manual — and this particular page is the gpiocli get one (its full government name is gpiocli-get, iykyk) 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

🦋 Usage 🦋

here's the whole vibe in one line:

gpiocli get [OPTION…] [line0] [line1]...

what it does: get values of one or more GPIO lines. that's it, that's the job. you point it at some lines, it tells you what they're doing rn 👑

---

💜 Help Options 💜

• -h, --help — shows you the help options. the classic "help me help you" moment, no cap 🙈

---

🌸 Application Options 🌸

• -r, --request=<request> — restricts the scope to a particular request. like, only look inside this request please 🎀
• --unquoted — don't quote line names. let them breathe, they're free now ✨
• --numeric — displays line values as '0' (inactive) or '1' (active). numbers only, we're being so serious rn 💀

---

👑 The Rules (read these bestie) 👑

so if -r/--request is specified, then all the lines must belong to the same request (and — by extension — the same chip). it's giving "everyone in this group chat is in the same group chat," which like, obviously.

and if no lines are specified but -r/--request was passed? then every line within the request gets used. the request is your roster and you're running the whole roster, periodt 💖

also: D-Bus API version: 1 ⭐
