| Description: | |
| As a Kconfig option, individual GPIO signals may be accessed from | |
| userspace. GPIOs are only made available to userspace by an explicit | |
| "export" operation. If a given GPIO is not claimed for use by | |
| kernel code, it may be exported by userspace (and unexported later). | |
| Kernel code may export it for complete or partial access. | |
| GPIOs are identified as they are inside the kernel, using integers in | |
| the range 0..INT_MAX. See Documentation/gpio.txt for more information. | |

| /export ... asks the kernel to export a GPIO to userspace | |
| /unexport ... to return a GPIO to the kernel | |
| /gpioN ... for each exported GPIO #N | |
| /value ... always readable, writes fail for input GPIOs | |
| /direction ... r/w as: in, out (default low); write: high, low | |
| /edge ... r/w as: none, falling, rising, both | |
| /gpiochipN ... for each gpiochip; #N is its first GPIO | |
| /base ... (r/o) same as N | |
| /label ... (r/o) descriptive, not necessarily unique | |
| /ngpio ... (r/o) number of GPIOs; numbered N to N + (ngpio - 1) | |
