xgpio_set_multiple(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 xgpio_set_multiple — from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the (9) one)

Ok so bestie, listen. We're in the kernel man pages today — specifically section 9, the Kernel API Manual — and this little icon is called xgpio_set_multiple. Buckle up, it's actually so simple it's giving main character energy for a one-liner. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

xgpio_set_multiple — write the specified signals of the GPIO device. That's it. That's the whole job. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int xgpio_set_multiple (struct gpio_chip *gc , unsigned long *mask , unsigned long *bits );

Returns an int, takes three args, no cap. 🌸

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

  • gc — pointer to the gpio_chip device structure. Like, the whole device vibe check. 🫶
  • mask — mask of the GPIOS to modify. This is your "which ones are we touching" list, literally.
  • bits — value to be wrote on each GPIO. (Yes, "wrote" — the original said it, we're respecting the original, don't come for me 😭💀)

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So here's the tea: this function writes the specified values into the specified signals of the GPIO devices. Mask says which signals, bits says what value, and xgpio_set_multiple handles the rest. Slay. 👑

It's giving "selective update" energy and honestly? Obsessed. ⭐

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/gpio/gpio-xilinx.c, plus the whole friend group:

Heads up bestie: that bits description really does say "Value to be wrote on each GPIO" — I'm just the messenger, not the grammar police 🚓💀

And that's the page! 🎀 Little sign-off moment for you: this one lives under ./drivers/gpio and it's stamped October 2026 in the Kernel API Manual. Periodt. 💜🧚
