manual page for gpiomon v2.1.3

Synopsis

gpiomon [Options] <line>...

Description

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

-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 's', 'ms', and 'us'.

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
