+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm libgpio
+library provides an interface to configure GPIO pins.
+The library operates with a
+.Ft gpio_handle_t
+opaque type which can be created with
+.Fn gpio_open
+or
+.Fn gpio_open_device .
+When no more GPIO operations are needed, this handle can be destroyed
+with
+.Fn gpio_close .
+.Pp
+To get a list of all available pins, one can call
+.Fn gpio_pin_list .
+This function takes a pointer to a
+.Ft gpio_config_t
+which is dynamically allocated.
+This pointer should be freed with
+.Xr free 3
+when it is no longer necessary.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn gpio_pin_config
+retrieves the current configuration of a pin.
+The pin number should be passed in via the
+.Ft g_pin
+variable which is part of the
+.Ft gpio_config_t
+structure.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn gpio_pin_set_name
+sets the name used to describe a pin.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn gpio_pin_set_flags
+configures a pin with the flags passed in by the
+.Ft gpio_config_t
+structure.
+The pin number should also be passed in through the
+.Ft g_pin
+variable.
+All other structure members will be ignored by this function.
+The list of flags can be found in
+.In sys/gpio.h .
+.Pp
+The get or set the state of a GPIO pin, the functions
+.Fn gpio_pin_get
+and
+.Fn gpio_pin_set
+are available, respectively.
+To toggle the state, use
+.Fn gpio_pin_toggle .
+.Pp
+The functions
+.Fn gpio_pin_low
+and
+.Fn gpio_pin_high
+are wrappers around
+.Fn gpio_pin_set .
+.Pp
+The functions
+.Fn gpio_pin_input ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_output ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_opendrain ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_pushpull ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_tristate ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_pullup ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_pulldown ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_invin ,
+.Fn gpio_pin_invout
+and
+.Fn gpio_pin_pulsate
+are wrappers around
+.Fn gpio_pin_set_flags .
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn gpio_configure_events
+configures the interrupt report type and FIFO size for buffered
+gpio interrupts.
+The report type is specified by one of the following values:
+.Bl -tag -width indent
+.It Dv GPIO_EVENT_REPORT_DETAIL
+Events are reported using
+.Ft struct gpio_event_detail .
+.It Dv GPIO_EVENT_REPORT_SUMMARY
+Events are reported using
+.Ft struct gpio_event_summary .
+.El
+.Pp
+By default, the report type is
+.Dv GPIO_EVENT_REPORT_DETAIL ,
+with a default FIFO size of 2 * number of pins belonging to the
+.Ft gpio_device_t
+instance.
+The FIFO argument is only meaningful when
+.Fa report_type
+is
+.Dv GPIO_EVENT_REPORT_DETAIL .
+The structures associated with each report type are defined in
+.In sys/gpio.h .
+This setting is tracked on a per device instance basis.
+The FIFO size cannot be reduced below the default value,
+nor can it be decreased after it has been increased.
+If any pin on the device has already been configured for interrupts,
+.Fn gpio_configure_events
+fails and returns -1.
+On success 0 is returned.
+.Pp
+The function
+.Fn gpio_fileno
+returns the file descriptor associated with the
+.Ft gpio_handle_t
+instance.
+.Pp
+File operations have the following semantics:
+.Bl -tag -width "read (2)"
+.It Xr read 2
+Read one or more gpio interrupts that have occured
+since the last successful
+.Xr read 2 .
+The results are placed into the output buffer
+of the type previously established via
+.Fn gpio_configure_events .
+If there are no pending interrupts,
+.Xr read 2
+blocks until an interrupt occurs, unless
+.Dv O_NONBLOCK
+is set.
+.It Xr poll 2
+When receiving notification via
+.Xr poll 2
+or similar interfaces, the file descriptor becomes readable when
+one or more gpio interrupts are pending.
+.El
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following example shows how to configure pin 16 as output and then
+drive it high:
+.Bd -literal
+#include <sys/types.h>
+#include <err.h>
+#include <libgpio.h>
+
+gpio_handle_t handle;
+
+handle = gpio_open(0);
+if (handle == GPIO_INVALID_HANDLE)
+ err(1, "gpio_open failed");
+gpio_pin_output(handle, 16);
+gpio_pin_high(handle, 16);
+gpio_close(handle);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The following example shows how to get a configuration of a pin:
+.Bd -literal
+gpio_config_t cfg;
+
+cfg.g_pin = 32;
+gpio_pin_config(handle, &cfg);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The structure will contain the name of the pin and its flags.
