Usage: /usr/bin/gpionotify [OPTIONS] <line>...
Wait for changes to info 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
--by-name treat lines as names even if they would parse as an offset
-c, --chip <chip> restrict scope to a particular chip
-e, --event <event> specify the events to monitor
Possible values: 'requested', 'released', 'reconfigured'.
(default is all events)
-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
--localtime convert event timestamps to local time
-n, --num-events <num>
exit after processing num events
-q, --quiet don't generate any output
-s, --strict abort if requested line names are not unique
--unquoted don't quote line or consumer names
--utc convert event timestamps to UTC
-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 info event type ('1' - requested, '2' - released or '3' - reconfigured)
%E info event type ('requested', 'released' or 'reconfigured')
%a line attributes
%C consumer
%S event timestamp as seconds
%U event timestamp as UTC
%L event timestamp as local time
