of_get_named_gpiod_flags(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to the of_get_named_gpiod_flags(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is literally about getting a GPIO descriptor and flags for the GPIO API, and I promise it's not scary — iykyk 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

of_get_named_gpiod_flags - Get a GPIO descriptor and flags for GPIO API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the whole signature, character for character, no cap:

struct gpio_desc * of_get_named_gpiod_flags (const struct device_node
       *np , const char *propname , int index , enum of_gpio_flags *flags );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

here's what you're handing over, bestie:

  • np — device node to get GPIO from
  • propname — property name containing gpio specifier(s)
  • index — index of the GPIO
  • flags — a flags pointer to fill in

🦋 RETURN 🦋

so what comes back? a GPIO descriptor to use with the Linux GPIO API, or one of the errno value on the error condition 😭 and if flags is not NULL, the function also fills in flags for the GPIO — cute, right? 💅
