📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 gpiod_set_raw_array_value_cansleep ✨

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 — this page is about the little function whose name got chopped in the header (you know, the gpiod_set_ra...lue_cansleep(9) thing 💀), and yes it's the whole long one: gpiod_set_raw_array_value_cansleep. buckle up, she's a mouthful but she's iconic 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

gpiod_set_raw_array_value_cansleep — assign values to an array of GPIOs 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int gpiod_set_raw_array_value_cansleep (unsigned int array_size , struct
gpio_desc **desc_array , struct gpio_array *array_info , unsigned long
*value_bitmap );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • array_size — how many elements live in the descriptor array / value bitmap, fr fr. that's the count, no more no less 🍓
  • desc_array — the array of GPIO descriptors whose values are gonna get assigned 💫
  • array_info — info about whether the fast bitmap processing path applies here 👑
  • value_bitmap — the bitmap of values you're assigning, periodt ✨

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so what she does: she sets the raw values of the GPIOs. and "raw" means the values of the physical lines — without regard for their ACTIVE_LOW status 🙈 like, she does not care about that, not even a little.

this function is to be called from contexts that can sleep 😴 — that's literally the whole vibe, don't call her from somewhere that can't nap, okay?

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success, or negative errno on failure 💀 — classic.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c 👀 and honestly the whole friend group:

ngl bestie, that's the whole page — every flag, every path, every sibling function, all accounted for 💅 no cap.

okay byeee, this one came from ./drivers/gpio, dated October 2026, and yes it's still filed under that cursed truncated name gpiod_set_ra...lue_cansleep(9) 😭 mwah 💖
