GPIOCLI(1)

✨ NAME ✨

gpiocli — release 💅 (yes bestie, that's the whole name, we're keeping it simple)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Usage (aka the vibe check) 🎀

gpiocli release [OPTION…] <request>

okay so literally what this does: it releases one of the line requests controlled by the manager. That's it. That's the whole job. You hand it a <request>, it lets that request go, and the manager is no longer holding onto it. Very demure, very mindful, very releasing-the-request 💖

Help Options 🫶

• -h, --help — shows the help options, because sometimes we all need a little guidance and that's valid 🌈

D-Bus API version: 1 — noted, stamped, canon, periodt 👑
