.SH DESCRIPTION
.B GPIO
is a command line tool to allow the user easy access to the GPIO pins
on the Raspberry Pi. It's designed for simple testing and diagnostic
purposes, but can be used in shell scripts for general if somewhat slow
control of the GPIO pins.
Additionally, it can be used to set the exports in the \fI/sys/class/gpio\fR
system directory to allow subsequent programs to use the \fR/sys/class/gpio\fR
interface without needing to be run as root.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-v
Output the current version
.TP
.B \-g
Use the BCM_GPIO pins numbers rather than wiringPi pin numbers.
.TP
.B \-p
Use the PiFace interface board and its corresponding pin numbers.
.TP
.B read
Read the digital value of the given pin and print 0 or 1 to represent the
respective logic levels.
.TP
.B write
Write the given value (0 or 1) to the pin.
.TP
.B pwm
Write a PWM value (0-1023) to the given pin.
.TP
.B mode
Set a pin into \fIinput\fR, \fIoutput\fR or \fIpwm\fR mode. Can also
use the literals \fIup\fR, \fIdown\fR or \fItri\fR to set the internal
pull-up, pull-down or tristate (off) controls.
.TP
.B export
Export a GPIO pin in the \fI/sys/class/gpio\fR directory. Use like the
mode command above however only \fIin\fR and \fIout\fR are supported at
this time. Note that the pin number is the \fBBCM_GPIO\fR number and
not the wiringPi number.
Once a GPIO pin has been exported, the \fBgpio\fR program changes the
ownership of the \fI/sys/class/gpio/gpioX/value\fR and if present in
later kernels, the \fI/sys/class/gpio/gpioX/edge\fR pseudo files to
that of the user running the \fBgpio\fR program. This means that you
can have a small script of gpio exports to setup the gpio pins as your
program requires without the need to run anything as root, or with the
sudo command.
.TP
.B edge
This exports a GPIO pin in the \fI/sys/class/gpio\fR directory, set
the direction to input and set the edge interrupt method to \fInone\fR,
\fIrising\fR, \fIfalling\fR or \fIboth\fR. Use like the export command
above and note that \fBBCM_GPIO\fR pin number is used not not wiringPi pin
numbering.
Like the export commands abovem ownership is set to that of the
calling user, allowing subsequent access from user programs without
requiring root/sudo.
.TP
.B unexport
Un-Export a GPIO pin in the /sys/class/gpio directory.
.TP
.B unexportall
Un-Export all the GPIO pins in the /sys/class/gpio directory.
.TP
.B exports
Print a list (if any) of all the exported GPIO pins and their current values.

.SH EXAMPLES
.TP 2.2i
gpio mode 4 output # Set pin 4 to output
.PP
gpio -g mode 23 output # Set GPIO pin 23 to output (same as WiringPi pin 4)
.PP
gpio mode 1 pwm # Set pin 1 to PWM mode
.PP
gpio pwm 1 512 # Set pin 1 to PWM value 512 - half brightness
.PP
gpio export 17 out # Set GPIO Pin 17 to output
.PP
gpio export 0 in # Set GPIO Pin 0 (SDA0) to input.
.PP
gpio -g read 0 # Read GPIO Pin 0 (SDA0)
.SH "NOTES"
When using the \fIexport\fR, \fIedge\fR or \fIunexport\fR commands, the
pin numbers are \fBalways\fR native BCM_GPIO numbers and never wiringPi
pin numbers.
