💖 GPIOCLI(1) — wait 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the gpiocli-wait page — section 1 of the manual, group-chat certified, no cap ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

gpiocli - wait

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💅 Usage

gpiocli wait [OPTION...]

Wait for the gpio-manager interface to appear. that's it, that's the whole job — it just sits there being patient until the interface shows up 🦋

🫶 Help Options

  • -h, --help — Show help options. iconic behaviour honestly, the classic "wait what does this do again" button 💖

✨ Application Options

  • -c, --chip=<label> — Wait for a specific chip to appear. not just any chip, bestie — this one, by name 👑
  • -t, --timeout=<timeout_str> — Bail-out if timeout expires. it will NOT wait forever, it has boundaries 💅

ok so the timeout thing, listen up because the units are lowkey flexible 🍓

The timeout period defaults to milliseconds, but you can also give it in seconds or in milliseconds explicitly. for example, all three of these specify the exact same period:

--timeout=1000
--timeout=1000ms
--timeout=1s
fr fr, pick whichever one sparks joy — the vibe is the same, the number is the same, the waiting is the same 😭

D-Bus API version: 1 — writing that down so we don't forget 🌈
