STRUCT GPIOEVENT_DATA(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the struct gpioevent_data(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and the whole point is: struct gpioevent_data — The actual event being pushed to userspace. That's her job, bestie. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct gpioevent_data {
    __u64 timestamp;
    __u32 id;
 };

🫶 Members 🫶

• timestamp — best estimate of time of event occurrence, in nanoseconds. Literally the when of it all. ⏱️
• id — event identifier, one of GPIOEVENT_EVENT_RISING_EDGE or GPIOEVENT_EVENT_FALLING_EDGE. So you know which edge showed up. 🦋

🌸 Note 🌸

⚠️ bestie, major heads-up: this struct is part of ABI v1 and is deprecated. Use ABI v2 and struct gpio_v2_line_event instead. Like, respectfully, move on. 😭
