💖 GPIOCLI(1) — gpiocli-monitor 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading a man page and honestly? it's giving iconic. this is the gpiocli-monitor page from the gpiocli fam, and it's lowkey one of the cutest little tools out here. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpiocli - monitor

yes girl, that's the whole name section. short. sweet. main character energy 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

✨ Usage ✨

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

Get values of one or more GPIO lines. that's it, that's the vibe — you point it at some lines and it tells you what they're doing 🫶

🎀 Help Options 🎀

• -h, --help — Show help options. the classic. when in doubt, ask for help, no shame in it 💜

🍓 Application Options 🍓

• -r, --request=<request> — restrict scope to a particular request

so here's the tea on -r/--request ☕ if you pass it, then all the lines must belong to the same request (and — by extension — the same chip). no mixing, no matching, they gotta be a matched set fr fr.

and if you specify no lines at all but you did pass -r/--request? then all lines within the request will be used. it just does the whole thing for you, slay 💅

D-Bus API version: 1 — noted, written down, in the group chat, forever 📝
