GPIOD-SYSFS-PROXY(1)

💖 NAME 💖

gpiod-sysfs-proxy — bestie, it emulates the Linux GPIO sysfs interface using libgpiod ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe, no cap. The usage is literally this:

gpiod-sysfs-proxy [-h] [-f] [-o OPT[,OPT...]] [-d] [-V] mountpoint

What it does: it emulates the deprecated Linux GPIO sysfs interface, but using the modern libgpiod character device API instead. it's giving glow-up, it's giving translation layer 🦋

ngl the word deprecated is doing a lot of heavy lifting there — the sysfs interface it's faking is the old one. The program is the bridging bestie keeping the old interface alive on top of the new API 💅

🎀 POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS 🎀

• mountpoint — the directory you want the virtual GPIO sysfs filesystem mounted over. typically /sys/class/gpio, iykyk 👑

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. classic. 💖
• -f, --foreground — runs in the foreground instead of daemonising. so it stays right there with you, main character energy, not sneaking off into the background 🫶
• -o, --options _OPT[,OPT...]_ — passes comma-separated mount options straight through to FUSE. you can hand it this flag multiple times if you want, like -o allow_other,default_permissions. very much a "here's my list, take it all" situation 🍓
• -d, --debug-fuse — turns on FUSE debug output. heads up: this implies foreground operation, so no daemonising for you, bestie, it's all out in the open 🫣
• -V, --version — shows the program version and exits. short, sweet, iconic 🌈

and that's the whole page, periodt 💅 this was gpiod-sysfs-proxy version 1.0.2, dated July 2026 — love that for us, mwah 🎀💜
