Usage: /usr/bin/gpiomon [OPTIONS] <line>...
Wait for events on GPIO lines and print them to standard output.
Lines are specified by name, or optionally by offset if the chip option
is provided.
Options:
--banner display a banner on successful startup
-b, --bias <bias> specify the line bias
Possible values: 'pull-down', 'pull-up', 'disabled'.
(default is to leave bias unchanged)
--by-name treat lines as names even if they would parse as an offset
-c, --chip <chip> restrict scope to a particular chip
-C, --consumer <name> consumer name applied to requested lines (default is 'gpiomon')
-e, --edges <edges> specify the edges to monitor
Possible values: 'falling', 'rising', 'both'.
(default is 'both')
-E, --event-clock <clock>
specify the source clock for event timestamps
Possible values: 'monotonic', 'realtime', 'hte'.
(default is 'monotonic')
By default 'realtime' is formatted as UTC, others as raw u64.
-h, --help display this help and exit
-F, --format <fmt> specify a custom output format
--idle-timeout <period>
exit gracefully if no events occur for the period specified
-l, --active-low treat the line as active low, flipping the sense of
rising and falling edges
--localtime format event timestamps as local time
-n, --num-events <num>
exit after processing num events
-p, --debounce-period <period>
debounce the line(s) with the specified period
-q, --quiet don't generate any output
-I, --initial-state print initial states of the lines
-N, --numeric display line values as '0' (inactive) or '1' (active)
-s, --strict abort if requested line names are not unique
--unquoted don't quote line or consumer names
--utc format event timestamps as UTC (default for 'realtime')
-v, --version output version information and exit
Chips:
A GPIO chip may be identified by number, name, or path.
e.g. '0', 'gpiochip0', and '/dev/gpiochip0' all refer to the same chip.
Periods:
Periods are taken as milliseconds unless units are specified. e.g. 10us.
Supported units are 'm', 's', 'ms', and 'us' for minutes, seconds, milliseconds and
microseconds respectively.
Format specifiers:
%o GPIO line offset
%l GPIO line name
%c GPIO chip name
%e numeric edge event type ('1' - rising or '2' - falling)
%E edge event type ('rising' or 'falling')
%S event timestamp as seconds
%U event timestamp as UTC
%L event timestamp as local time
