+========================================
+GPIO Character Device Userspace API (v1)
+========================================
+
+.. warning::
+   This API is obsoleted by chardev.rst (v2).
+
+   New developments should use the v2 API, and existing developments are
+   encouraged to migrate as soon as possible, as this API will be removed
+   in the future. The v2 API is a functional superset of the v1 API so any
+   v1 call can be directly translated to a v2 equivalent.
+
+   This interface will continue to be maintained for the migration period,
+   but new features will only be added to the new API.
+
+First added in 4.8.
+
+The API is based around three major objects, the :ref:`gpio-v1-chip`, the
+:ref:`gpio-v1-line-handle`, and the :ref:`gpio-v1-line-event`.
+
+Where "line event" is used in this document it refers to the request that can
+monitor a line for edge events, not the edge events themselves.
+
+.. _gpio-v1-chip:
+
+Chip
+====
+
+The Chip represents a single GPIO chip and is exposed to userspace using device
+files of the form ``/dev/gpiochipX``.
+
+Each chip supports a number of GPIO lines,
+:c:type:`chip.lines<gpiochip_info>`. Lines on the chip are identified by an
+``offset`` in the range from 0 to ``chip.lines - 1``, i.e. `[0,chip.lines)`.
+
+Lines are requested from the chip using either gpio-get-linehandle-ioctl.rst
+and the resulting line handle is used to access the GPIO chip's lines, or
+gpio-get-lineevent-ioctl.rst and the resulting line event is used to monitor
+a GPIO line for edge events.
+
+Within this documentation, the file descriptor returned by calling `open()`
+on the GPIO device file is referred to as ``chip_fd``.
+
+Operations
+----------
+
+The following operations may be performed on the chip:
+
+.. toctree::
+   :titlesonly:
+
+   Get Line Handle <gpio-get-linehandle-ioctl>
+   Get Line Event <gpio-get-lineevent-ioctl>

+   Watch Line Info <gpio-get-lineinfo-watch-ioctl>
+   Unwatch Line Info <gpio-get-lineinfo-unwatch-ioctl>
+   Read Line Info Changed Events <gpio-lineinfo-changed-read>
+
+.. _gpio-v1-line-handle:
+
+Line Handle
+===========
+
+Line handles are created by gpio-get-linehandle-ioctl.rst and provide
+access to a set of requested lines.  The line handle is exposed to userspace
+via the anonymous file descriptor returned  in
+:c:type:`request.fd<gpiohandle_request>` by gpio-get-linehandle-ioctl.rst.
+
+Within this documentation, the line handle file descriptor is referred to
+as ``handle_fd``.
+

+
+.. _gpio-v1-line-event:
+
+Line Event
+==========
+
+Line events are created by gpio-get-lineevent-ioctl.rst and provide
+access to a requested line.  The line event is exposed to userspace
+via the anonymous file descriptor returned  in
+:c:type:`request.fd<gpioevent_request>` by gpio-get-lineevent-ioctl.rst.
+
+Within this documentation, the line event file descriptor is referred to

+GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL - Request a line with edge detection from the kernel.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL
+
+``int ioctl(int chip_fd, GPIO_GET_LINEEVENT_IOCTL, struct gpioevent_request *request)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``chip_fd``
+    The file descriptor of the GPIO character device returned by `open()`.
+
+``request``
+    The :c:type:`event_request<gpioevent_request>` specifying the line
+    to request and its configuration.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Request a line with edge detection from the kernel.
+
+On success, the requesting process is granted exclusive access to the line
+value and may receive events when edges are detected on the line, as
+described in gpio-lineevent-data-read.rst.
+
+The state of a line is guaranteed to remain as requested until the returned
+file descriptor is closed. Once the file descriptor is closed, the state of
+the line becomes uncontrolled from the userspace perspective, and may revert
+to its default state.
+
+Requesting a line already in use is an error (**EBUSY**).
+
+Closing the ``chip_fd`` has no effect on existing line events.
+
+Configuration Rules
+-------------------
+
+The following configuration rules apply:
+
+The line event is requested as an input, so no flags specific to output lines,
+``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OUTPUT``, ``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OPEN_DRAIN``, or
+``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OPEN_SOURCE``, may be set.
+
+Only one bias flag, ``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_BIAS_xxx``, may be set.
+If no bias flags are set then the bias configuration is not changed.
+
+The edge flags, ``GPIOEVENT_REQUEST_RISING_EDGE`` and
+``GPIOEVENT_REQUEST_FALLING_EDGE``, may be combined to detect both rising
+and falling edges.
+
+Requesting an invalid configuration is an error (**EINVAL**).
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 and the :c:type:`request.fd<gpioevent_request>` contains the file
+descriptor for the request.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.

+
+Description
+===========
+
+Request a line or lines from the kernel.
+
+While multiple lines may be requested, the same configuration applies to all

+
+On success, the requesting process is granted exclusive access to the line
+value and write access to the line configuration.

+
+Requesting a line already in use is an error (**EBUSY**).
+
+Closing the ``chip_fd`` has no effect on existing line handles.
+
+.. _gpio-get-linehandle-config-rules:
+
+Configuration Rules
+-------------------
+
+The following configuration rules apply:
+
+The direction flags, ``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_INPUT`` and
+``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OUTPUT``, cannot be combined. If neither are set then the
+only other flag that may be set is ``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_ACTIVE_LOW`` and the
+line is requested "as-is" to allow reading of the line value without altering
+the electrical configuration.
+
+The drive flags, ``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OPEN_xxx``, require the
+``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_OUTPUT`` to be set.
+Only one drive flag may be set.
+If none are set then the line is assumed push-pull.
+
+Only one bias flag, ``GPIOHANDLE_REQUEST_BIAS_xxx``, may be set, and
+it requires a direction flag to also be set.
+If no bias flags are set then the bias configuration is not changed.
+
+Requesting an invalid configuration is an error (**EINVAL**).
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 and the :c:type:`request.fd<gpiohandle_request>` contains the
+file descriptor for the request.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.

+Description
+===========
+
+Enable watching a line for changes to its request state and configuration
+information. Changes to line info include a line being requested, released

+
+.. note::
+    Watching line info is not generally required, and would typically only be

+    The line info does NOT include the line value.
+
+    The line must be requested using gpio-get-linehandle-ioctl.rst or
+    gpio-get-lineevent-ioctl.rst to access its value, and the line event can
+    monitor a line for events using gpio-lineevent-data-read.rst.
+
+By default all lines are unwatched when the GPIO chip is opened.
+
+Multiple lines may be watched simultaneously by adding a watch for each.
+
+Once a watch is set, any changes to line info will generate events which can be
+read from the ``chip_fd`` as described in
+gpio-lineinfo-changed-read.rst.
+
+Adding a watch to a line that is already watched is an error (**EBUSY**).
+
+Watches are specific to the ``chip_fd`` and are independent of watches

+Description
+===========

+
+For output lines, the value returned is driver and configuration dependent and

+buffer (the actual level of the line), and depending on the hardware and
+configuration these may differ.
+
+This ioctl can also be used to read the line value for line events,
+substituting the ``event_fd`` for the ``handle_fd``.  As there is only
+one line requested in that case, only the one value is returned in ``values``.
+
+Return Value
+============

+GPIO_LINEEVENT_DATA_READ - Read edge detection events from a line event.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+``int read(int event_fd, void *buf, size_t count)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``event_fd``
+    The file descriptor of the GPIO character device, as returned in the
+    :c:type:`request.fd<gpioevent_request>` by gpio-get-lineevent-ioctl.rst.
+
+``buf``
+    The buffer to contain the :c:type:`events<gpioevent_data>`.
+
+``count``
+    The number of bytes available in ``buf``, which must be at
+    least the size of a :c:type:`gpioevent_data`.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Read edge detection events for a line from a line event.
+
+Edge detection must be enabled for the input line using either
+``GPIOEVENT_REQUEST_RISING_EDGE`` or ``GPIOEVENT_REQUEST_FALLING_EDGE``, or
+both. Edge events are then generated whenever edge interrupts are detected on
+the input line.
+
+The kernel captures and timestamps edge events as close as possible to their
+occurrence and stores them in a buffer from where they can be read by
+userspace at its convenience using `read()`.
+
+The source of the clock for :c:type:`event.timestamp<gpioevent_data>` is
+``CLOCK_MONOTONIC``, except for kernels earlier than Linux 5.7 when it was
+``CLOCK_REALTIME``.  There is no indication in the :c:type:`gpioevent_data`
+as to which clock source is used, it must be determined from either the kernel
+version or sanity checks on the timestamp itself.
+
+Events read from the buffer are always in the same order that they were
+detected by the kernel.
+
+The size of the kernel event buffer is fixed at 16 events.
+
+The buffer may overflow if bursts of events occur quicker than they are read
+by userspace. If an overflow occurs then the most recent event is discarded.
+Overflow cannot be detected from userspace.
+
+To minimize the number of calls required to copy events from the kernel to
+userspace, `read()` supports copying multiple events. The number of events
+copied is the lower of the number available in the kernel buffer and the
+number that will fit in the userspace buffer (``buf``).
+
+The `read()` will block if no event is available and the ``event_fd`` has not
+been set **O_NONBLOCK**.
+
+The presence of an event can be tested for by checking that the ``event_fd`` is
+readable using `poll()` or an equivalent.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success the number of bytes read, which will be a multiple of the size of
+a :c:type:`gpio_lineevent_data` event.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.

+GPIO_LINEINFO_CHANGED_READ - Read line info change events for watched lines
+from the chip.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+``int read(int chip_fd, void *buf, size_t count)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``chip_fd``
+    The file descriptor of the GPIO character device returned by `open()`.
+
+``buf``
+    The buffer to contain the :c:type:`events<gpioline_info_changed>`.
+
+``count``
+    The number of bytes available in ``buf``, which must be at least the size
+    of a :c:type:`gpioline_info_changed` event.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Read line info change events for watched lines from the chip.
+
+.. note::
+    Monitoring line info changes is not generally required, and would typically
+    only be performed by a system monitoring component.
+
+    These events relate to changes in a line's request state or configuration,
+    not its value. Use gpio-lineevent-data-read.rst to receive events when a
+    line changes value.
+
+A line must be watched using gpio-get-lineinfo-watch-ioctl.rst to generate
+info changed events.  Subsequently, a request, release, or reconfiguration
+of the line will generate an info changed event.
+
+The kernel timestamps events when they occur and stores them in a buffer
+from where they can be read by userspace at its convenience using `read()`.
+
+The size of the kernel event buffer is fixed at 32 events per ``chip_fd``.
+
+The buffer may overflow if bursts of events occur quicker than they are read
+by userspace. If an overflow occurs then the most recent event is discarded.
+Overflow cannot be detected from userspace.
+
+Events read from the buffer are always in the same order that they were
+detected by the kernel, including when multiple lines are being monitored by
+the one ``chip_fd``.
+
+To minimize the number of calls required to copy events from the kernel to
+userspace, `read()` supports copying multiple events. The number of events
+copied is the lower of the number available in the kernel buffer and the
+number that will fit in the userspace buffer (``buf``).
+
+A `read()` will block if no event is available and the ``chip_fd`` has not
+been set **O_NONBLOCK**.
+
+The presence of an event can be tested for by checking that the ``chip_fd`` is
+readable using `poll()` or an equivalent.
+
+First added in 5.7.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success the number of bytes read, which will be a multiple of the size of
+a :c:type:`gpioline_info_changed` event.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.
