GPIOCLI(1)

💖 NAME 💖

gpiocli — notify ✨ (yes bestie, that's the whole name, she's minimal and she's iconic)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

🌸 Usage 🌸

okay so first things first, here's how you actually call her:

gpiocli notify [OPTION]... <line1> [line2] ...

What does she do tho? She monitors a set of lines for property changes. That's it, that's the whole job. She sits there, she watches your lines, and when a property changes she tells you. Main character behaviour, honestly. 👑

---

🎀 Help Options 🎀

• -h, --help — shows you the help options. when you're lost, she's got you 🫶

---

✨ Application Options ✨

• -c, --chip=<chip> — restricts the scope to a particular chip. like, "girl, only this chip, i don't have the energy for the others" 💅

---

Lines are specified by name, or optionally by offset if the chip option is provided.

so fr fr: give her names, or give her offsets — but offsets only work when you've also passed the chip option. no chip, no offsets, that's the rule 🚫

D-Bus API version: 1 🌈 (she speaks D-Bus and this is the version, noted and slayed)
