Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL
``int ioctl(int chip_fd, GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL, struct gpio_v2_line_info *info)``
Arguments
=========
``chip_fd``
The file descriptor of the GPIO character device returned by `open()`.
``info``
The :c:type:`line_info<gpio_v2_line_info>` to be populated, with the
``offset`` field set to indicate the line to be collected.
Description
===========
Get the publicly available information for a line.
This information is available independent of whether the line is in use.
.. note::
The line info does not include the line value.
The line must be requested using gpio-v2-get-line-ioctl.rst to access its
value.
Return Value
============
On success 0 and ``info`` is populated with the chip info.
On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.
