NAME

lt-gpioset - manual page for lt-gpioset v1.6.4

SYNOPSIS

lt-gpioset [OPTIONS] <chip name/number> <offset1>=<value1> <offset2>=<value2> ...

DESCRIPTION

Set GPIO line values of a GPIO chip and maintain the state until the process exits

OPTIONS

-h, --help:
display this message and exit
-v, --version:
display the version and exit
-l, --active-low:
set the line active state to low

-B, --bias=[as-is|disable|pull-down|pull-up] (defaults to 'as-is'):

set the line bias

-D, --drive=[push-pull|open-drain|open-source] (defaults to 'push-pull'):

set the line drive mode

-m, --mode=[exit|wait|time|signal] (defaults to 'exit'):

tell the program what to do after setting values
-s, --sec=SEC:
specify the number of seconds to wait (only valid for --mode=time)
-u, --usec=USEC:
specify the number of microseconds to wait (only valid for --mode=time)
-b, --background:
after setting values: detach from the controlling terminal

Biases:

as-is:
leave bias unchanged
disable:
disable bias
pull-up:
enable pull-up
pull-down:
enable pull-down

Drives:

push-pull:
drive the line both high and low
open-drain:
drive the line low or go high impedance
open-source:
drive the line high or go high impedance

Modes:

exit:
set values and exit immediately
wait:
set values and wait for user to press ENTER
time:
set values and sleep for a specified amount of time
signal:
set values and wait for SIGINT or SIGTERM

Note: the state of a GPIO line controlled over the character device reverts to default when the last process referencing the file descriptor representing the device file exits. This means that it's wrong to run gpioset, have it exit and expect the line to continue being driven high or low. It may happen if given pin is floating but it must be interpreted as undefined behavior.
