pigpio(3)

NAME
pigpio - A C library to manipulate the Pi's GPIO.

SYNOPSIS
#include <pigpio.h> gcc -Wall -pthread -o prog prog.c -lpigpio -lrt sudo ./prog

DESCRIPTION
pigpio is a C library for the Raspberry which allows control of the GPIO.

  Features
o hardware timed PWM on any of GPIO 0-31
o hardware timed servo pulses on any of GPIO 0-31
o callbacks when any of GPIO 0-31 change state
o callbacks at timed intervals
o reading/writing all of the GPIO in a bank as one operation
o individually setting GPIO modes, reading and writing
o notifications when any of GPIO 0-31 change state
o the construction of output waveforms with microsecond timing
o rudimentary permission control over GPIO
o a simple interface to start and stop new threads
o I2C, SPI, and serial link wrappers
o creating and running scripts

  GPIO
ALL GPIO are identified by their Broadcom number.

  Credits
The PWM and servo pulses are timed using the DMA and PWM peripherals.
This use was inspired by Richard Hirst's servoblaster kernel module.

  Usage
Include <pigpio.h> in your source files.
Assuming your source is in prog.c use the following command to build and run the executable.
    gcc -Wall -pthread -o prog prog.c -lpigpio -lrt
    sudo ./prog
For examples of usage see the C programs within the pigpio archive file.

  Notes
All the functions which return an int return < 0 on error.
gpioInitialise must be called before all other library functions with the following exceptions:
    gpioCfg*
    gpioVersion
    gpioHardwareRevision
If the library is not initialised all but the gpioCfg*, gpioVersion, and gpioHardwareRevision functions will return error PI_NOT_INITIALISED.
If the library is initialised the gpioCfg* functions will return error PI_INITIALISED.
If you intend to rely on signals sent to your application, you should turn off the internal signal handling as shown in this example:
    int cfg = gpioCfgGetInternals();
    cfg |= PI_CFG_NOSIGHANDLER;  // (1<<10)
    gpioCfgSetInternals(cfg);
    int status = gpioInitialise();

FUNCTIONS

int gpioInitialise(void)

    Initialises the library.
    Returns the pigpio version number if OK, otherwise PI_INIT_FAILED.
    gpioInitialise must be called before using the other library functions with the following exceptions:
        gpioCfg*
        gpioVersion
        gpioHardwareRevision
    Example
        if (gpioInitialise() < 0)
        {
           // pigpio initialisation failed.
        }
        else
        {
           // pigpio initialised okay.
        }

void gpioTerminate(void)

    Terminates the library.
    Returns nothing.
    Call before program exit.
    This function resets the used DMA channels, releases memory, and terminates any running threads.
    Example
        gpioTerminate();

int gpioSetMode(unsigned gpio, unsigned mode)

    Sets the GPIO mode, typically input or output.
        gpio: 0-53
        mode: 0-7
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO or PI_BAD_MODE.
    Arduino style: pinMode.
    Example
        gpioSetMode(17, PI_INPUT);  // Set GPIO17 as input.
        gpioSetMode(18, PI_OUTPUT); // Set GPIO18 as output.
        gpioSetMode(22,PI_ALT0);    // Set GPIO22 to alternative mode 0.
    See http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/bcm2835/BCM2835-ARM-Peripherals.pdf page 102 for an overview of the modes.

int gpioGetMode(unsigned gpio)

    Gets the GPIO mode.
        gpio: 0-53
    Returns the GPIO mode if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO.
    Example
        if (gpioGetMode(17) != PI_ALT0)
        {
           gpioSetMode(17, PI_ALT0);  // set GPIO17 to ALT0
        }

int gpioSetPullUpDown(unsigned gpio, unsigned pud)

    Sets or clears resistor pull ups or downs on the GPIO.
        gpio: 0-53
         pud: 0-2
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO or PI_BAD_PUD.
    Example
        gpioSetPullUpDown(17, PI_PUD_UP);   // Sets a pull-up.
        gpioSetPullUpDown(18, PI_PUD_DOWN); // Sets a pull-down.
        gpioSetPullUpDown(23, PI_PUD_OFF);  // Clear any pull-ups/downs.

int gpioRead(unsigned gpio)

    Reads the GPIO level, on or off.
        gpio: 0-53
    Returns the GPIO level if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO.
    Arduino style: digitalRead.
    Example
        printf("GPIO24 is level %d", gpioRead(24));

int gpioWrite(unsigned gpio, unsigned level)

    Sets the GPIO level, on or off.
         gpio: 0-53
        level: 0-1
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO or PI_BAD_LEVEL.
    If PWM or servo pulses are active on the GPIO they are switched off.
    Arduino style: digitalWrite
    Example
        gpioWrite(24, 1); // Set GPIO24 high.

int gpioPWM(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned dutycycle)

    Starts PWM on the GPIO, dutycycle between 0 (off) and range (fully on). Range defaults to 255.
        user_gpio: 0-31
        dutycycle: 0-range
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_BAD_DUTYCYCLE.
    Arduino style: analogWrite
    This and the servo functionality use the DMA and PWM or PCM peripherals to control and schedule the pulse lengths and dutycycles.
    The gpioSetPWMrange function may be used to change the default range of 255.
    Example
        gpioPWM(17, 255); // Sets GPIO17 full on.
        gpioPWM(18, 128); // Sets GPIO18 half on.
        gpioPWM(23, 0);   // Sets GPIO23 full off.

int gpioGetPWMdutycycle(unsigned user_gpio)

    Returns the PWM dutycycle setting for the GPIO.
        user_gpio: 0-31
    Returns between 0 (off) and range (fully on) if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_NOT_PWM_GPIO.
    For normal PWM the dutycycle will be out of the defined range for the GPIO (see gpioGetPWMrange).
    If a hardware clock is active on the GPIO the reported dutycycle will be 500000 (500k) out of 1000000 (1M).
    If hardware PWM is active on the GPIO the reported dutycycle will be out of a 1000000 (1M).
    Normal PWM range defaults to 255.

int gpioSetPWMrange(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned range)

    Selects the dutycycle range to be used for the GPIO. Subsequent calls to gpioPWM will use a dutycycle between 0 (off) and range (fully on).
        user_gpio: 0-31
            range: 25-40000
    Returns the real range for the given GPIO's frequency if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_BAD_DUTYRANGE.
    If PWM is currently active on the GPIO its dutycycle will be scaled to reflect the new range.
    The real range, the number of steps between fully off and fully on for each frequency, is given in the following table.
          25,   50,  100,  125,  200,  250,  400,   500,   625,
         800, 1000, 1250, 2000, 2500, 4000, 5000, 10000, 20000
    The real value set by gpioPWM is (dutycycle * real range) / range.
    Example
        gpioSetPWMrange(24, 2000); // Now 2000 is fully on
                                   //     1000 is half on
                                   //      500 is quarter on, etc.

int gpioGetPWMrange(unsigned user_gpio)

    Returns the dutycycle range used for the GPIO if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.
        user_gpio: 0-31
    If a hardware clock or hardware PWM is active on the GPIO the reported range will be 1000000 (1M).
    Example
        r = gpioGetPWMrange(23);

int gpioGetPWMrealRange(unsigned user_gpio)

    Returns the real range used for the GPIO if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.
        user_gpio: 0-31
    If a hardware clock is active on the GPIO the reported real range will be 1000000 (1M).
    If hardware PWM is active on the GPIO the reported real range will be approximately 250M divided by the set PWM frequency.
    Example
        rr = gpioGetPWMrealRange(17);

int gpioSetPWMfrequency(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned frequency)

    Sets the frequency in hertz to be used for the GPIO.
        user_gpio: 0-31
        frequency: >=0
    Returns the numerically closest frequency if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.
    If PWM is currently active on the GPIO it will be switched off and then back on at the new frequency.
    Each GPIO can be independently set to one of 18 different PWM frequencies.
    The selectable frequencies depend upon the sample rate which may be 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, or 10 microseconds (default 5).
    The frequencies for each sample rate are:
                               Hertz
               1: 40000 20000 10000 8000 5000 4000 2500 2000 1600
                   1250  1000   800  500  400  250  200  100   50
               2: 20000 10000  5000 4000 2500 2000 1250 1000  800
                    625   500   400  250  200  125  100   50   25
               4: 10000  5000  2500 2000 1250 1000  625  500  400
                    313   250   200  125  100   63   50   25   13
        sample
         rate
         (us)  5:  8000  4000  2000 1600 1000  800  500  400  320
                    250   200   160  100   80   50   40   20   10
               8:  5000  2500  1250 1000  625  500  313  250  200

                    125   100    80   50   40   25   20   10    5
    Example
        gpioSetPWMfrequency(23, 0); // Set GPIO23 to lowest frequency.
        gpioSetPWMfrequency(24, 500); // Set GPIO24 to 500Hz.
        gpioSetPWMfrequency(25, 100000); // Set GPIO25 to highest frequency.

int gpioGetPWMfrequency(unsigned user_gpio)

    Returns the frequency (in hertz) used for the GPIO if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.
        user_gpio: 0-31
    For normal PWM the frequency will be that defined for the GPIO by gpioSetPWMfrequency.
    If a hardware clock is active on the GPIO the reported frequency will be that set by gpioHardwareClock.
    If hardware PWM is active on the GPIO the reported frequency will be that set by gpioHardwarePWM.
    Example
        f = gpioGetPWMfrequency(23); // Get frequency used for GPIO23.

int gpioServo(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned pulsewidth)

    Starts servo pulses on the GPIO, 0 (off), 500 (most anti-clockwise) to 2500 (most clockwise).
         user_gpio: 0-31
        pulsewidth: 0, 500-2500
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_BAD_PULSEWIDTH.
    The range supported by servos varies and should probably be determined by experiment. A value of 1500 should always be safe and represents the mid-point of rotation. You can DAMAGE a servo if you command it to move beyond its limits.
    The following causes an on pulse of 1500 microseconds duration to be transmitted on GPIO 17 at a rate of 50 times per second. This will command a servo connected to GPIO 17 to rotate to its mid-point.
    Example
        gpioServo(17, 1000); // Move servo to safe position anti-clockwise.
        gpioServo(23, 1500); // Move servo to centre position.
        gpioServo(25, 2000); // Move servo to safe position clockwise.
    OTHER UPDATE RATES:
    This function updates servos at 50Hz. If you wish to use a different update frequency you will have to use the PWM functions.
        PWM Hz    50   100  200  400  500
        1E6/Hz 20000 10000 5000 2500 2000
    Firstly set the desired PWM frequency using gpioSetPWMfrequency.
    Then set the PWM range using gpioSetPWMrange to 1E6/frequency. Doing this allows you to use units of microseconds when setting the servo pulsewidth.
    E.g. If you want to update a servo connected to GPIO25 at 400Hz
        gpioSetPWMfrequency(25, 400);
        gpioSetPWMrange(25, 2500);
    Thereafter use the PWM command to move the servo, e.g. gpioPWM(25, 1500) will set a 1500 us pulse.

int gpioGetServoPulsewidth(unsigned user_gpio)

    Returns the servo pulsewidth setting for the GPIO.
        user_gpio: 0-31
    Returns 0 (off), 500 (most anti-clockwise) to 2500 (most clockwise) if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_NOT_SERVO_GPIO.

int gpioSetAlertFunc(unsigned user_gpio, gpioAlertFunc_t f)

    Registers a function to be called (a callback) when the specified GPIO changes state.
        user_gpio: 0-31
                f: the callback function
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.
    One callback may be registered per GPIO.
    The callback is passed the GPIO, the new level, and the tick.
        Parameter   Value    Meaning
        GPIO        0-31     The GPIO which has changed state
        level       0-2      0 = change to low (a falling edge)
                             1 = change to high (a rising edge)
                             2 = no level change (a watchdog timeout)
        tick        32 bit   The number of microseconds since boot
                             WARNING: this wraps around from
                             4294967295 to 0 roughly every 72 minutes
    The alert may be cancelled by passing NULL as the function.
    The GPIO are sampled at a rate set when the library is started.
    If a value isn't specifically set the default of 5 us is used.
    The number of samples per second is given in the following table.
                      samples
                      per sec
                 1  1,000,000
                 2    500,000
        sample   4    250,000
        rate     5    200,000
        (us)     8    125,000
                10    100,000
    Level changes shorter than the sample rate may be missed.
    The thread which calls the alert functions is triggered nominally 1000 times per second. The active alert functions will be called once per level change since the last time the thread was activated. i.e. The active alert functions will get all level changes but there will be a latency.
    If you want to track the level of more than one GPIO do so by maintaining the state in the callback. Do not use gpioRead. Remember the event that triggered the callback may have happened several milliseconds before and the GPIO may have changed level many times since then.
    The tick value is the time stamp of the sample in microseconds, see gpioTick for more details.
    Example
        void aFunction(int gpio, int level, uint32_t tick)
        {
           printf("GPIO %d became %d at %d", gpio, level, tick);
        }
        // call aFunction whenever GPIO 4 changes state
        gpioSetAlertFunc(4, aFunction);

int gpioSetAlertFuncEx(unsigned user_gpio, gpioAlertFuncEx_t f, void *userdata)

    Registers a function to be called (a callback) when the specified GPIO changes state.
        user_gpio: 0-31
                f: the callback function
         userdata: pointer to arbitrary user data
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.
    One callback may be registered per GPIO.
    The callback is passed the GPIO, the new level, the tick, and the userdata pointer.

int gpioSetISRFunc(unsigned gpio, unsigned edge, int timeout, gpioISRFunc_t f)

    Registers a function to be called (a callback) whenever the specified GPIO interrupt occurs.
           gpio: 0-53
           edge: RISING_EDGE, FALLING_EDGE, or EITHER_EDGE
        timeout: interrupt timeout in milliseconds (<=0 to cancel)
              f: the callback function
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO, PI_BAD_EDGE, or PI_BAD_ISR_INIT.
    One function may be registered per GPIO.
    The function is passed the GPIO, the current level, and the current tick. The level will be PI_TIMEOUT if the optional interrupt timeout expires.
        Parameter   Value    Meaning
        GPIO        0-53     The GPIO which has changed state
        level       0-2      0 = change to low (a falling edge)

        tick        32 bit   The number of microseconds since boot
                             WARNING: this wraps around from
                             4294967295 to 0 roughly every 72 minutes
    The underlying Linux sysfs GPIO interface is used to provide the interrupt services.
    The first time the function is called, with a non-NULL f, the GPIO is exported, set to be an input, and set to interrupt on the given edge and timeout.
    Subsequent calls, with a non-NULL f, can vary one or more of the edge, timeout, or function.
    The ISR may be cancelled by passing a NULL f, in which case the GPIO is unexported.
    The tick is that read at the time the process was informed of the interrupt. This will be a variable number of microseconds after the interrupt occurred. Typically the latency will be of the order of 50 microseconds. The latency is not guaranteed and will vary with system load.
    The level is that read at the time the process was informed of the interrupt, or PI_TIMEOUT if the optional interrupt timeout expired. It may not be the same as the expected edge as interrupts happening in rapid succession may be missed by the kernel (i.e. this mechanism can not be used to capture several interrupts only a few microseconds apart).

int gpioSetISRFuncEx(unsigned gpio, unsigned edge, int timeout, gpioISRFuncEx_t f, void *userdata)

    Registers a function to be called (a callback) whenever the specified GPIO interrupt occurs.
            gpio: 0-53
            edge: RISING_EDGE, FALLING_EDGE, or EITHER_EDGE
         timeout: interrupt timeout in milliseconds (<=0 to cancel)
               f: the callback function
        userdata: pointer to arbitrary user data
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO, PI_BAD_EDGE, or PI_BAD_ISR_INIT.
    The function is passed the GPIO, the current level, the current tick, and the userdata pointer.
        Parameter   Value    Meaning
        GPIO        0-53     The GPIO which has changed state
        level       0-2      0 = change to low (a falling edge)

    Only one of gpioSetISRFunc or gpioSetISRFuncEx can be registered per GPIO.
    See gpioSetISRFunc for further details.

int gpioNotifyOpen(void)

    This function requests a free notification handle.
    Returns a handle greater than or equal to zero if OK, otherwise PI_NO_HANDLE.
    A notification is a method for being notified of GPIO state changes via a pipe or socket.
    Pipe notifications for handle x will be available at the pipe named /dev/pigpiox (where x is the handle number). E.g. if the function returns 15 then the notifications must be read from /dev/pigpio15.
    Socket notifications are returned to the socket which requested the handle.
    Example
        h = gpioNotifyOpen();
        if (h >= 0)
        {
           sprintf(str, "/dev/pigpio%d", h);
           fd = open(str, O_RDONLY);
           if (fd >= 0)
           {
              // Okay.
           }
           else
           {
              // Error.
           }
        }
        else
        {
           // Error.
        }

int gpioNotifyOpenWithSize(int bufSize)

    This function requests a free notification handle.
    It differs from gpioNotifyOpen in that the pipe size may be specified, whereas gpioNotifyOpen uses the default pipe size.
    See gpioNotifyOpen for further details.

int gpioNotifyBegin(unsigned handle, uint32_t bits)

    This function starts notifications on a previously opened handle.
        handle: >=0, as returned by gpioNotifyOpen
          bits: a bit mask indicating the GPIO of interest
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.
    The notification sends state changes for each GPIO whose corresponding bit in bits is set.
    Each notification occupies 12 bytes in the fifo and has the following structure.
        typedef struct
        {
           uint16_t seqno;
           uint16_t flags;
           uint32_t tick;
           uint32_t level;
        } gpioReport_t;
    seqno: starts at 0 each time the handle is opened and then increments by one for each report.
    flags: three flags are defined, PI_NTFY_FLAGS_WDOG, PI_NTFY_FLAGS_ALIVE, and PI_NTFY_FLAGS_EVENT.
    If bit 5 is set (PI_NTFY_FLAGS_WDOG) then bits 0-4 of the flags indicate a GPIO which has had a watchdog timeout.
    If bit 6 is set (PI_NTFY_FLAGS_ALIVE) this indicates a keep alive signal on the pipe/socket and is sent once a minute in the absence of other notification activity.
    If bit 7 is set (PI_NTFY_FLAGS_EVENT) then bits 0-4 of the flags indicate an event which has been triggered.
    tick: the number of microseconds since system boot. It wraps around after 1h12m.
    level: indicates the level of each GPIO. If bit 1<<x is set then GPIO x is high.
    Example
        // Start notifications for GPIO 1, 4, 6, 7, 10.
        //                         1
        //                         0  76 4  1
        // (1234 = 0x04D2 = 0b0000010011010010)
        gpioNotifyBegin(h, 1234);

int gpioNotifyPause(unsigned handle)

    This function pauses notifications on a previously opened handle.
        handle: >=0, as returned by gpioNotifyOpen
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.
    Notifications for the handle are suspended until gpioNotifyBegin is called again.
    Example
        gpioNotifyPause(h);

int gpioNotifyClose(unsigned handle)

    This function stops notifications on a previously opened handle and releases the handle for reuse.
        handle: >=0, as returned by gpioNotifyOpen
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.
    Example
        gpioNotifyClose(h);

int gpioWaveClear(void)

    This function clears all waveforms and any data added by calls to the gpioWaveAdd* functions.
    Returns 0 if OK.
    Example
        gpioWaveClear();

int gpioWaveAddNew(void)

    This function starts a new empty waveform.
    You wouldn't normally need to call this function as it is automatically called after a waveform is created with the gpioWaveCreate function.
    Returns 0 if OK.
    Example
        gpioWaveAddNew();

int gpioWaveAddGeneric(unsigned numPulses, gpioPulse_t *pulses)

    This function adds a number of pulses to the current waveform.
        numPulses: the number of pulses
           pulses: an array of pulses
    Returns the new total number of pulses in the current waveform if OK, otherwise PI_TOO_MANY_PULSES.
    The pulses are interleaved in time order within the existing waveform (if any).
    Merging allows the waveform to be built in parts, that is the settings for GPIO#1 can be added, and then GPIO#2 etc.
    If the added waveform is intended to start after or within the existing waveform then the first pulse should consist of a delay.
    Example
        // Construct and send a 30 microsecond square wave.
        gpioSetMode(gpio, PI_OUTPUT);
        pulse[0].gpioOn = (1<<gpio);
        pulse[0].gpioOff = 0;
        pulse[0].usDelay = 15;
        pulse[1].gpioOn = 0;
        pulse[1].gpioOff = (1<<gpio);
        pulse[1].usDelay = 15;
        gpioWaveAddNew();
        gpioWaveAddGeneric(2, pulse);
        wave_id = gpioWaveCreate();
        if (wave_id >= 0)
        {
           gpioWaveTxSend(wave_id, PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT);
           // Transmit for 30 seconds.
           sleep(30);
           gpioWaveTxStop();
        }
        else
        {
           // Wave create failed.
        }

int gpioWaveAddSerial(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned baud, unsigned data_bits, unsigned stop_bits, unsigned offset, unsigned numBytes, char *str)

    This function adds a waveform representing serial data to the existing waveform (if any). The serial data starts offset microseconds from the start of the waveform.
        user_gpio: 0-31
             baud: 50-1000000
        data_bits: 1-32
        stop_bits: 2-8
           offset: >=0
         numBytes: >=1
              str: an array of chars (which may contain nulls)
    Returns the new total number of pulses in the current waveform if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_WAVE_BAUD, PI_BAD_DATABITS, PI_BAD_STOPBITS, PI_TOO_MANY_CHARS, PI_BAD_SER_OFFSET, or PI_TOO_MANY_PULSES.
    NOTES:
    The serial data is formatted as one start bit, data_bits data bits, and stop_bits/2 stop bits.
    It is legal to add serial data streams with different baud rates to the same waveform.
    numBytes is the number of bytes of data in str.
    The bytes required for each character depend upon data_bits.
    For data_bits 1-8 there will be one byte per character.
    For data_bits 9-16 there will be two bytes per character.
    For data_bits 17-32 there will be four bytes per character.
    Example
        #define MSG_LEN 8
        int i;
        char *str;
        char data[MSG_LEN];
        str = "Hello world!";
        gpioWaveAddSerial(4, 9600, 8, 2, 0, strlen(str), str);
        for (i=0; i<MSG_LEN; i++) data[i] = i;
        // Data added is offset 1 second from the waveform start.
        gpioWaveAddSerial(4, 9600, 8, 2, 1000000, MSG_LEN, data);

int gpioWaveCreate(void)

    This function creates a waveform from the data provided by the prior calls to the gpioWaveAdd* functions. Upon success a wave id greater than or equal to 0 is returned, otherwise PI_EMPTY_WAVEFORM, PI_TOO_MANY_CBS, PI_TOO_MANY_OOL, or PI_NO_WAVEFORM_ID.
    The data provided by the gpioWaveAdd* functions is consumed by this function.
    As many waveforms may be created as there is space available. The wave id is passed to gpioWaveTxSend to specify the waveform to transmit.
    Normal usage would be
    Step 1. gpioWaveClear to clear all waveforms and added data.
    Step 2. gpioWaveAdd* calls to supply the waveform data.
    Step 3. gpioWaveCreate to create the waveform and get a unique id
    Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.
    Step 4. gpioWaveTxSend with the id of the waveform to transmit.
    A waveform comprises one of more pulses. Each pulse consists of a gpioPulse_t structure.
        typedef struct
        {
           uint32_t gpioOn;
           uint32_t gpioOff;
           uint32_t usDelay;
        } gpioPulse_t;
    The fields specify
    1) the GPIO to be switched on at the start of the pulse.
    2) the GPIO to be switched off at the start of the pulse.
    3) the delay in microseconds before the next pulse.
    Any or all the fields can be zero. It doesn't make any sense to set all the fields to zero (the pulse will be ignored).
    When a waveform is started each pulse is executed in order with the specified delay between the pulse and the next.
    Returns the new waveform id if OK, otherwise PI_EMPTY_WAVEFORM, PI_NO_WAVEFORM_ID, PI_TOO_MANY_CBS, or PI_TOO_MANY_OOL.

int gpioWaveCreatePad(int pctCB, int pctBOOL, int pctTOOL)

    Similar to gpioWaveCreate, this function creates a waveform but pads the consumed resources. Padded waves of equal dimension can be re-cycled efficiently allowing newly created waves to re-use the resources of deleted waves of the same dimension.
        pctCB: 0-100, the percent of all DMA control blocks to consume.
        pctBOOL: 0-100, percent On-Off-Level (OOL) buffer to consume for wave output.
        pctTOOL: 0-100, the percent of OOL buffer to consume for wave input (flags).
    Upon success a wave id greater than or equal to 0 is returned, otherwise PI_EMPTY_WAVEFORM, PI_TOO_MANY_CBS, PI_TOO_MANY_OOL, or PI_NO_WAVEFORM_ID.
    Waveform data provided by gpioWaveAdd* and rawWaveAdd* functions are consumed by this function.
    A usage would be the creation of two waves where one is filled while the other is being transmitted. Each wave is assigned 50% of the resources. This buffer structure allows the transmission of infinite wave sequences.
    Example
          // get firstWaveChunk, somehow
          gpioWaveAddGeneric(firstWaveChunk);
          wid = gpioWaveCreatePad(50, 50, 0);
          gpioWaveTxSend(wid, PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT);
          // get nextWaveChunk
          while (nextWaveChunk) {
             gpioWaveAddGeneric(nextWaveChunk);
             nextWid = gpioWaveCreatePad(50, 50, 0);
             gpioWaveTxSend(nextWid, PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT_SYNC);
             while(gpioWaveTxAt() == wid) time_sleep(0.1);
             gpioWaveDelete(wid);
             wid = nextWid;
             // get nextWaveChunk
          }

int gpioWaveDelete(unsigned wave_id)

    This function deletes the waveform with id wave_id.
    The wave is flagged for deletion. The resources used by the wave will only be reused when either of the following apply.
    - all waves with higher numbered wave ids have been deleted or have been flagged for deletion.
    - a new wave is created which uses exactly the same resources as the current wave (see the C source for gpioWaveCreate for details).
        wave_id: >=0, as returned by gpioWaveCreate
    Wave ids are allocated in order, 0, 1, 2, etc.
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_WAVE_ID.

int gpioWaveTxSend(unsigned wave_id, unsigned wave_mode)

    This function transmits the waveform with id wave_id. The mode determines whether the waveform is sent once or cycles endlessly. The SYNC variants wait for the current waveform to reach the end of a cycle or finish before starting the new waveform.
    WARNING: bad things may happen if you delete the previous waveform before it has been synced to the new waveform.
    NOTE: Any hardware PWM started by gpioHardwarePWM will be cancelled.
          wave_id: >=0, as returned by gpioWaveCreate
        wave_mode: PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT, PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT,
                   PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT_SYNC, PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT_SYNC
    Returns the number of DMA control blocks in the waveform if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_WAVE_ID, or PI_BAD_WAVE_MODE.

int gpioWaveChain(char *buf, unsigned bufSize)

    This function transmits a chain of waveforms.
    NOTE: Any hardware PWM started by gpioHardwarePWM will be cancelled.
    The waves to be transmitted are specified by the contents of buf which contains an ordered list of wave_ids and optional command codes and related data.
            buf: pointer to the wave_ids and optional command codes
        bufSize: the number of bytes in buf
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_CHAIN_NESTING, PI_CHAIN_LOOP_CNT, PI_BAD_CHAIN_LOOP, PI_BAD_CHAIN_CMD, PI_CHAIN_COUNTER, PI_BAD_CHAIN_DELAY, PI_CHAIN_TOO_BIG, or PI_BAD_WAVE_ID.
    Each wave is transmitted in the order specified. A wave may occur multiple times per chain.
    A blocks of waves may be transmitted multiple times by using the loop commands. The block is bracketed by loop start and end commands. Loops may be nested.
    Delays between waves may be added with the delay command.
    The following command codes are supported:
    Name Cmd & Data Meaning
    Loop Start 255 0 Identify start of a wave block
    Loop Repeat 255 1 x y loop x + y*256 times
    Delay 255 2 x y delay x + y*256 microseconds
    Loop Forever 255 3 loop forever
    If present Loop Forever must be the last entry in the chain.
    The code is currently dimensioned to support a chain with roughly 600 entries and 20 loop counters.
    Example
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <pigpio.h>
        #define WAVES 5
        #define GPIO 4
        int main(int argc, char *argv[])
        {
           int i, wid[WAVES];

           for (i=0; i<WAVES; i++)
           {
              gpioWaveAddGeneric(2, (gpioPulse_t[])
                 {{1<<GPIO, 0,        20},
                  {0, 1<<GPIO, (i+1)*200}});
              wid[i] = gpioWaveCreate();
           }
           gpioWaveChain((char []) {
              wid[4], wid[3], wid[2],       // transmit waves 4+3+2
              255, 0,                       // loop start
                 wid[0], wid[0], wid[0],    // transmit waves 0+0+0
                 255, 0,                    // loop start
                    wid[0], wid[1],         // transmit waves 0+1
                    255, 2, 0x88, 0x13,     // delay 5000us
                 255, 1, 30, 0,             // loop end (repeat 30 times)

                    wid[2], wid[3], wid[0], // transmit waves 2+3+0
                    wid[3], wid[1], wid[2], // transmit waves 3+1+2
                 255, 1, 10, 0,             // loop end (repeat 10 times)
              255, 1, 5, 0,                 // loop end (repeat 5 times)
              wid[4], wid[4], wid[4],       // transmit waves 4+4+4
              255, 2, 0x20, 0x4E,           // delay 20000us
              wid[0], wid[0], wid[0],       // transmit waves 0+0+0
              }, 46);
           while (gpioWaveTxBusy()) time_sleep(0.1);
           for (i=0; i<WAVES; i++) gpioWaveDelete(wid[i]);
           printf("stop piscope, press return"); getchar();
           gpioTerminate();
        }

int gpioWaveTxAt(void)

    This function returns the id of the waveform currently being transmitted using gpioWaveTxSend. Chained waves are not supported.
    Returns the waveform id or one of the following special values:

             baud: 50-250000
        data_bits: 1-32
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_WAVE_BAUD, PI_BAD_DATABITS, or PI_GPIO_IN_USE.
    The serial data is returned in a cyclic buffer and is read using gpioSerialRead.
    It is the caller's responsibility to read data from the cyclic buffer in a timely fashion.

int gpioSerialReadInvert(unsigned user_gpio, unsigned invert)

    This function configures the level logic for bit bang serial reads.
    Use PI_BB_SER_INVERT to invert the serial logic and PI_BB_SER_NORMAL for normal logic. Default is PI_BB_SER_NORMAL.
        user_gpio: 0-31
           invert: 0-1
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_GPIO_IN_USE, PI_NOT_SERIAL_GPIO, or PI_BAD_SER_INVERT.
    The GPIO must be opened for bit bang reading of serial data using gpioSerialReadOpen prior to calling this function.

int gpioSerialRead(unsigned user_gpio, void *buf, size_t bufSize)

    This function copies up to bufSize bytes of data read from the bit bang serial cyclic buffer to the buffer starting at buf.
        user_gpio: 0-31, previously opened with gpioSerialReadOpen
              buf: an array to receive the read bytes
          bufSize: >=0
    Returns the number of bytes copied if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_NOT_SERIAL_GPIO.
    The bytes returned for each character depend upon the number of data bits data_bits specified in the gpioSerialReadOpen command.
    For data_bits 1-8 there will be one byte per character.
    For data_bits 9-16 there will be two bytes per character.
    For data_bits 17-32 there will be four bytes per character.

int bscXfer(bsc_xfer_t *bsc_xfer)

    This function provides a low-level interface to the SPI/I2C Slave peripheral on the BCM chip.
    This peripheral allows the Pi to act as a hardware slave device on an I2C or SPI bus.
    This is not a bit bang version and as such is OS timing independent. The bus timing is handled directly by the chip.
    The output process is simple. You simply append data to the FIFO buffer on the chip. This works like a queue, you add data to the queue and the master removes it.
    I can't get SPI to work properly. I tried with a control word of 0x303 and swapped MISO and MOSI.
    The function sets the BSC mode, writes any data in the transmit buffer to the BSC transmit FIFO, and copies any data in the BSC receive FIFO to the receive buffer.
        bsc_xfer:= a structure defining the transfer
        typedef struct
        {
           uint32_t control;          // Write
           int rxCnt;                 // Read only
           char rxBuf[BSC_FIFO_SIZE]; // Read only
           int txCnt;                 // Write
           char txBuf[BSC_FIFO_SIZE]; // Write
        } bsc_xfer_t;
    To start a transfer set control (see below), copy the bytes to be added to the transmit FIFO (if any) to txBuf and set txCnt to the number of copied bytes.
    Upon return rxCnt will be set to the number of received bytes placed in rxBuf.
    Note that the control word sets the BSC mode. The BSC will stay in that mode until a different control word is sent.
    GPIO used for models other than those based on the BCM2711.

    I2C 10 11 - - - -
    SPI - - 10 11 9 8
    When a zero control word is received the used GPIO will be reset to INPUT mode.
    The returned function value is the status of the transfer (see below).
    If there was an error the status will be less than zero (and will contain the error code).
    The most significant word of the returned status contains the number of bytes actually copied from txBuf to the BSC transmit FIFO (may be less than requested if the FIFO already contained untransmitted data).
    control consists of the following bits.

    The main SPI has two chip selects (channels), the auxiliary has three.
    The auxiliary SPI is available on all models but the A and B.
    The GPIO used are given in the following table.

    px is 0 if CEx is active low (default) and 1 for active high.
    ux is 0 if the CEx GPIO is reserved for SPI (default) and 1 otherwise.
    A is 0 for the main SPI, 1 for the auxiliary SPI.
    W is 0 if the device is not 3-wire, 1 if the device is 3-wire. Main SPI only.
    nnnn defines the number of bytes (0-15) to write before switching the MOSI line to MISO to read data. This field is ignored if W is not set. Main SPI only.
    T is 1 if the least significant bit is transmitted on MOSI first, the default (0) shifts the most significant bit out first. Auxiliary SPI only.
    R is 1 if the least significant bit is received on MISO first, the default (0) receives the most significant bit first. Auxiliary SPI only.
    bbbbbb defines the word size in bits (0-32). The default (0) sets 8 bits per word. Auxiliary SPI only.
    The spiRead, spiWrite, and spiXfer functions transfer data packed into 1, 2, or 4 bytes according to the word size in bits.
    For bits 1-8 there will be one byte per word.
    For bits 9-16 there will be two bytes per word.
    For bits 17-32 there will be four bytes per word.
    Multi-byte transfers are made in least significant byte first order.
    E.g. to transfer 32 11-bit words buf should contain 64 bytes and count should be 64.
    E.g. to transfer the 14 bit value 0x1ABC send the bytes 0xBC followed by 0x1A.

        PI_SCRIPT_INITING
        PI_SCRIPT_HALTED
        PI_SCRIPT_RUNNING
        PI_SCRIPT_WAITING
        PI_SCRIPT_FAILED
    The current value of script parameters 0 to 9 are returned in param.

int gpioStopScript(unsigned script_id)

    This function stops a running script.
        script_id: >=0, as returned by gpioStoreScript
    The function returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_SCRIPT_ID.

int gpioHardwareClock(unsigned gpio, unsigned clkfreq)

    Starts a hardware clock on a GPIO at the specified frequency. Frequencies above 30MHz are unlikely to work.
           gpio: see description
        clkfreq: 0 (off) or 4689-250M (13184-375M for the BCM2711)
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO, PI_NOT_HCLK_GPIO, PI_BAD_HCLK_FREQ,or PI_BAD_HCLK_PASS.
    The same clock is available on multiple GPIO. The latest frequency setting will be used by all GPIO which share a clock.
    The GPIO must be one of the following.
        4   clock 0  All models
        5   clock 1  All models but A and B (reserved for system use)
        6   clock 2  All models but A and B
        20  clock 0  All models but A and B
        21  clock 1  All models but A and Rev.2 B (reserved for system use)
        32  clock 0  Compute module only
        34  clock 0  Compute module only
        42  clock 1  Compute module only (reserved for system use)
        43  clock 2  Compute module only
        44  clock 1  Compute module only (reserved for system use)
    Access to clock 1 is protected by a password as its use will likely crash the Pi. The password is given by or'ing 0x5A000000 with the GPIO number.

int gpioHardwarePWM(unsigned gpio, unsigned PWMfreq, unsigned PWMduty)

    Starts hardware PWM on a GPIO at the specified frequency and dutycycle. Frequencies above 30MHz are unlikely to work.
    NOTE: Any waveform started by gpioWaveTxSend, or gpioWaveChain will be cancelled.
    This function is only valid if the pigpio main clock is PCM. The main clock defaults to PCM but may be overridden by a call to gpioCfgClock.
           gpio: see description
        PWMfreq: 0 (off) or 1-125M (1-187.5M for the BCM2711)
        PWMduty: 0 (off) to 1000000 (1M)(fully on)
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_GPIO, PI_NOT_HPWM_GPIO, PI_BAD_HPWM_DUTY, PI_BAD_HPWM_FREQ, or PI_HPWM_ILLEGAL.
    The same PWM channel is available on multiple GPIO. The latest frequency and dutycycle setting will be used by all GPIO which share a PWM channel.
    The GPIO must be one of the following.
        12  PWM channel 0  All models but A and B
        13  PWM channel 1  All models but A and B
        18  PWM channel 0  All models
        19  PWM channel 1  All models but A and B
        40  PWM channel 0  Compute module only
        41  PWM channel 1  Compute module only
        45  PWM channel 1  Compute module only
        52  PWM channel 0  Compute module only
        53  PWM channel 1  Compute module only
    The actual number of steps beween off and fully on is the integral part of 250M/PWMfreq (375M/PWMfreq for the BCM2711).
    The actual frequency set is 250M/steps (375M/steps for the BCM2711).
    There will only be a million steps for a PWMfreq of 250 (375 for the BCM2711). Lower frequencies will have more steps and higher frequencies will have fewer steps. PWMduty is automatically scaled to take this into account.

int gpioTime(unsigned timetype, int *seconds, int *micros)

    Updates the seconds and micros variables with the current time.
        timetype: 0 (relative), 1 (absolute)
         seconds: a pointer to an int to hold seconds
          micros: a pointer to an int to hold microseconds
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_TIMETYPE.
    If timetype is PI_TIME_ABSOLUTE updates seconds and micros with the number of seconds and microseconds since the epoch (1st January 1970).
    If timetype is PI_TIME_RELATIVE updates seconds and micros with the number of seconds and microseconds since the library was initialised.
    Example
        int secs, mics;
        // print the number of seconds since the library was started
        gpioTime(PI_TIME_RELATIVE, &secs, &mics);
        printf("library started %d.%03d seconds ago", secs, mics/1000);

int gpioSleep(unsigned timetype, int seconds, int micros)

    Sleeps for the number of seconds and microseconds specified by seconds and micros.
        timetype: 0 (relative), 1 (absolute)
         seconds: seconds to sleep
          micros: microseconds to sleep
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_TIMETYPE, PI_BAD_SECONDS, or PI_BAD_MICROS.
    If timetype is PI_TIME_ABSOLUTE the sleep ends when the number of seconds and microseconds since the epoch (1st January 1970) has elapsed. System clock changes are taken into account.
    If timetype is PI_TIME_RELATIVE the sleep is for the specified number of seconds and microseconds. System clock changes do not effect the sleep length.
    For short delays (say, 50 microseonds or less) use gpioDelay.
    Example
        gpioSleep(PI_TIME_RELATIVE, 2, 500000); // sleep for 2.5 seconds
        gpioSleep(PI_TIME_RELATIVE, 0, 100000); // sleep for 0.1 seconds
        gpioSleep(PI_TIME_RELATIVE, 60, 0);     // sleep for one minute

uint32_t gpioDelay(uint32_t micros)

    Delays for at least the number of microseconds specified by micros.
        micros: the number of microseconds to sleep
    Returns the actual length of the delay in microseconds.
    Delays of 100 microseconds or less use busy waits.

uint32_t gpioTick(void)

    Returns the current system tick.
    Tick is the number of microseconds since system boot.
    As tick is an unsigned 32 bit quantity it wraps around after 2^32 microseconds, which is approximately 1 hour 12 minutes.
    You don't need to worry about the wrap around as long as you take a tick (uint32_t) from another tick, i.e. the following code will always provide the correct difference.
    Example
        uint32_t startTick, endTick;
        int diffTick;
        startTick = gpioTick();
        // do some processing
        endTick = gpioTick();
        diffTick = endTick - startTick;
        printf("some processing took %d microseconds", diffTick);

unsigned gpioHardwareRevision(void)

    Returns the hardware revision.
    If the hardware revision can not be found or is not a valid hexadecimal number the function returns 0.
    The hardware revision is the last few characters on the Revision line of /proc/cpuinfo.
    The revision number can be used to determine the assignment of GPIO to pins (see gpio).
    There are at least three types of board.
    Type 1 boards have hardware revision numbers of 2 and 3.
    Type 2 boards have hardware revision numbers of 4, 5, 6, and 15.
    Type 3 boards have hardware revision numbers of 16 or greater.
    for "Revision : 0002" the function returns 2.
    for "Revision : 000f" the function returns 15.
    for "Revision : 000g" the function returns 0.

    Pad GPIO
    0 0-27
    1 28-45
    2 46-53
    Example
        strength = gpioGetPad(1); // get pad 1 strength

int gpioSetPad(unsigned pad, unsigned padStrength)

    This function sets the pad drive strength in mA.
                pad: 0-2, the pad to set
        padStrength: 1-16 mA

    Example
        gpioSetPad(0, 16); // set pad 0 strength to 16 mA

int eventMonitor(unsigned handle, uint32_t bits)

    This function selects the events to be reported on a previously opened handle.
        handle: >=0, as returned by gpioNotifyOpen
          bits: a bit mask indicating the events of interest
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.
    A report is sent each time an event is triggered providing the corresponding bit in bits is set.
    See gpioNotifyBegin for the notification format.
    Example
        // Start reporting events 3, 6, and 7.
        //  bit      76543210
        // (0xC8 = 0b11001000)
        eventMonitor(h, 0xC8);

        event: 0-31
            f: the callback function
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_EVENT_ID.
    One function may be registered per event.
    The function is passed the event, and the tick.
    The callback may be cancelled by passing NULL as the function.

int eventSetFuncEx(unsigned event, eventFuncEx_t f, void *userdata)

    Registers a function to be called (a callback) when the specified event occurs.
           event: 0-31
               f: the callback function
        userdata: pointer to arbitrary user data
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_EVENT_ID.
    One function may be registered per event.

int eventTrigger(unsigned event)

    This function signals the occurrence of an event.
        event: 0-31, the event
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_EVENT_ID.
    An event is a signal used to inform one or more consumers to start an action. Each consumer which has registered an interest in the event (e.g. by calling eventSetFunc) will be informed by a callback.
    One event, PI_EVENT_BSC (31) is predefined. This event is auto generated on BSC slave activity.
    The meaning of other events is arbitrary.
    Note that other than its id and its tick there is no data associated with an event.

int shell(char *scriptName, char *scriptString)

    This function uses the system call to execute a shell script with the given string as its parameter.
          scriptName: the name of the script, only alphanumeric characters,
                      '-' and '_' are allowed in the name
        scriptString: the string to pass to the script
    The exit status of the system call is returned if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_SHELL_STATUS.
    scriptName must exist in /opt/pigpio/cgi and must be executable.
    The returned exit status is normally 256 times that set by the shell script exit function. If the script can't be found 32512 will be returned.
    The following table gives some example returned statuses.
    Script exit status Returned system call status
    1 256
    5 1280
    10 2560
    200 51200
    script not found 32512
    Example
        // pass two parameters, hello and world
        status = shell("scr1", "hello world");
        // pass three parameters, hello, string with spaces, and world
        status = shell("scr1", "hello 'string with spaces' world");
        // pass one parameter, hello string with spaces world
        status = shell("scr1", "

int fileOpen(char *file, unsigned mode)

    This function returns a handle to a file opened in a specified mode.
        file: the file to open
        mode: the file open mode
    Returns a handle (>=0) if OK, otherwise PI_NO_HANDLE, PI_NO_FILE_ACCESS, PI_BAD_FILE_MODE, PI_FILE_OPEN_FAILED, or PI_FILE_IS_A_DIR.
    File
    A file may only be opened if permission is granted by an entry in /opt/pigpio/access. This is intended to allow remote access to files in a more or less controlled manner.
    Each entry in /opt/pigpio/access takes the form of a file path which may contain wildcards followed by a single letter permission. The permission may be R for read, W for write, U for read/write, and N for no access.
    Where more than one entry matches a file the most specific rule applies. If no entry matches a file then access is denied.
    Suppose /opt/pigpio/access contains the following entries
        /home/* n
        /home/pi/shared/dir_1/* w
        /home/pi/shared/dir_2/* r
        /home/pi/shared/dir_3/* u
        /home/pi/shared/dir_1/file.txt n
    Files may be written in directory dir_1 with the exception of file.txt.
    Files may be read in directory dir_2.
    Files may be read and written in directory dir_3.
    If a directory allows read, write, or read/write access then files may be created in that directory.
    In an attempt to prevent risky permissions the following paths are ignored in /opt/pigpio/access.
        a path containing ..
        a path containing only wildcards (*?)
        a path containing less than two non-wildcard parts
    Mode
    The mode may have the following values.
    Macro Value Meaning
    PI_FILE_READ 1 open file for reading
    PI_FILE_WRITE 2 open file for writing
    PI_FILE_RW 3 open file for reading and writing
    The following values may be or'd into the mode.
    Macro Value Meaning
    PI_FILE_APPEND 4 Writes append data to the end of the file
    PI_FILE_CREATE 8 The file is created if it doesn't exist
    PI_FILE_TRUNC 16 The file is truncated
    Newly created files are owned by root with permissions owner read and write.
    Example
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <pigpio.h>
        int main(int argc, char *argv[])
        {
           int handle, c;
           char buf[60000];
           if (gpioInitialise() < 0) return 1;
           // assumes /opt/pigpio/access contains the following line
           // /ram/*.c r
           handle = fileOpen("/ram/pigpio.c", PI_FILE_READ);
           if (handle >= 0)
           {
              while ((c=fileRead(handle, buf, sizeof(buf)-1)))
              {
                 buf[c] = 0;
                 printf("%s", buf);
              }
              fileClose(handle);
           }
           gpioTerminate();
        }

int fileClose(unsigned handle)

    This function closes the file associated with handle.
        handle: >=0, as returned by a call to fileOpen
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

int fileWrite(unsigned handle, char *buf, unsigned count)

    This function writes count bytes from buf to the the file associated with handle.
        handle: >=0, as returned by a call to fileOpen
           buf: the array of bytes to write
         count: the number of bytes to write
    Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE, PI_BAD_PARAM, PI_FILE_NOT_WOPEN, or PI_BAD_FILE_WRITE.
    Example
        status = fileWrite(h, buf, count);
        if (status == 0)
        {
           // okay
        }
        else
        {
           // error
        }

int fileRead(unsigned handle, char *buf, unsigned count)

    This function reads up to count bytes from the the file associated with handle and writes them to buf.
        handle: >=0, as returned by a call to fileOpen
           buf: an array to receive the read data
         count: the maximum number of bytes to read
    Returns the number of bytes read (>=0) if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE, PI_BAD_PARAM, PI_FILE_NOT_ROPEN, or PI_BAD_FILE_WRITE.
    Example
        if (fileRead(h, buf, sizeof(buf)) > 0)
        {
           // process read data
        }

int fileSeek(unsigned handle, int32_t seekOffset, int seekFrom)

    This function seeks to a position within the file associated with handle.
            handle: >=0, as returned by a call to fileOpen
        seekOffset: the number of bytes to move.  Positive offsets
                    move forward, negative offsets backwards.
          seekFrom: one of PI_FROM_START (0), PI_FROM_CURRENT (1),
                    or PI_FROM_END (2)
    Returns the new byte position within the file (>=0) if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE, or PI_BAD_FILE_SEEK.
    Example
        fileSeek(0, 20, PI_FROM_START); // Seek to start plus 20
        size = fileSeek(0, 0, PI_FROM_END); // Seek to end, return size
        pos = fileSeek(0, 0, PI_FROM_CURRENT); // Return current position

int fileList(char *fpat, char *buf, unsigned count)

         fpat: file pattern to match
          buf: an array to receive the matching file names
        count: the maximum number of bytes to read
    Returns the number of returned bytes if OK, otherwise PI_NO_FILE_ACCESS, or PI_NO_FILE_MATCH.
    The pattern must match an entry in /opt/pigpio/access. The pattern may contain wildcards. See fileOpen.
    NOTE
    The returned value is not the number of files, it is the number of bytes in the buffer. The file names are separated by newline characters.
    Example
        #include <stdio.h>
        #include <pigpio.h>
        int main(int argc, char *argv[])
        {
           int c;
           char buf[1000];
           if (gpioInitialise() < 0) return 1;
           // assumes /opt/pigpio/access contains the following line
           // /ram/*.c r
           c = fileList("/ram/p*.c", buf, sizeof(buf));
           if (c >= 0)
           {
              // terminate string
              buf[c] = 0;
              printf("%s", buf);
           }
           gpioTerminate();
        }

int gpioCfgBufferSize(unsigned cfgMillis)

    Configures pigpio to buffer cfgMillis milliseconds of GPIO samples.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
        cfgMillis: 100-10000
    The default setting is 120 milliseconds.
    The intention is to allow for bursts of data and protection against other processes hogging cpu time.
    I haven't seen a process locked out for more than 100 milliseconds.
    Making the buffer bigger uses a LOT of memory at the more frequent sampling rates as shown in the following table in MBs.

    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
            cfgMicros: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10
        cfgPeripheral: 0 (PWM), 1 (PCM)
            cfgSource: deprecated, value is ignored
    The timings are provided by the specified peripheral (PWM or PCM).
    The default setting is 5 microseconds using the PCM peripheral.
    The approximate CPU percentage used for each sample rate is:
        sample  cpu
         rate    %
          1     25
          2     16
          4     11
          5     10
          8     15
         10     14
    A sample rate of 5 microseconds seeems to be the sweet spot.

int gpioCfgDMAchannel(unsigned DMAchannel)

    Configures pigpio to use the specified DMA channel.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
        DMAchannel: 0-14
    The default setting is to use channel 14.

int gpioCfgDMAchannels(unsigned primaryChannel, unsigned secondaryChannel)

    Configures pigpio to use the specified DMA channels.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
          primaryChannel: 0-14
        secondaryChannel: 0-14
    The default setting depends on whether the Pi has a BCM2711 chip or not (currently only the Pi4B has a BCM2711).
    The default setting for a non-BCM2711 is to use channel 14 for the primary channel and channel 6 for the secondary channel.
    The default setting for a BCM2711 is to use channel 7 for the primary channel and channel 6 for the secondary channel.
    The secondary channel is only used for the transmission of waves.
    If possible use one of channels 0 to 6 for the secondary channel (a full channel).
    A full channel only requires one DMA control block regardless of the length of a pulse delay. Channels 7 to 14 (lite channels) require one DMA control block for each 16383 microseconds of delay. I.e. a 10 second pulse delay requires one control block on a full channel and 611 control blocks on a lite channel.

int gpioCfgPermissions(uint64_t updateMask)

    Configures pigpio to restrict GPIO updates via the socket or pipe interfaces to the GPIO specified by the mask. Programs directly calling the pigpio library (i.e. linked with -lpigpio are not affected). A GPIO update is a write to a GPIO or a GPIO mode change or any function which would force such an action.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
        updateMask: bit (1<<n) is set for each GPIO n which may be updated
    The default setting depends upon the Pi model. The user GPIO are added to the mask.
    If the board revision is not recognised then GPIO 2-27 are allowed.
    Unknown board PI_DEFAULT_UPDATE_MASK_UNKNOWN 0x0FFFFFFC
    Type 1 board PI_DEFAULT_UPDATE_MASK_B1 0x03E6CF93
    Type 2 board PI_DEFAULT_UPDATE_MASK_A_B2 0xFBC6CF9C
    Type 3 board PI_DEFAULT_UPDATE_MASK_R3 0x0FFFFFFC

int gpioCfgSocketPort(unsigned port)

    Configures pigpio to use the specified socket port.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.

    The default setting is to use port 8888.

int gpioCfgInterfaces(unsigned ifFlags)

    Configures pigpio support of the fifo and socket interfaces.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
        ifFlags: 0-7
    The default setting (0) is that both interfaces are enabled.
    Or in PI_DISABLE_FIFO_IF to disable the pipe interface.
    Or in PI_DISABLE_SOCK_IF to disable the socket interface.
    Or in PI_LOCALHOST_SOCK_IF to disable remote socket access (this means that the socket interface is only usable from the local Pi).

int gpioCfgMemAlloc(unsigned memAllocMode)

    Selects the method of DMA memory allocation.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.
        memAllocMode: 0-2
    There are two methods of DMA memory allocation. The original method uses the /proc/self/pagemap file to allocate bus memory. The new method uses the mailbox property interface to allocate bus memory.
    Auto will use the mailbox method unless a larger than default buffer size is requested with gpioCfgBufferSize.

int gpioCfgNetAddr(int numSockAddr, uint32_t *sockAddr)

    Sets the network addresses which are allowed to talk over the socket interface.
    This function is only effective if called before gpioInitialise.

    This function adds a number of pulses to the current waveform.
        numPulses: the number of pulses
           pulses: the array containing the pulses
    Returns the new total number of pulses in the current waveform if OK, otherwise PI_TOO_MANY_PULSES.
    The advantage of this function over gpioWaveAddGeneric is that it allows the setting of the flags field.
    The pulses are interleaved in time order within the existing waveform (if any).
    Merging allows the waveform to be built in parts, that is the settings for GPIO#1 can be added, and then GPIO#2 etc.
    If the added waveform is intended to start after or within the existing waveform then the first pulse should consist of a delay.

    In the calling function:
        user_type *userdata;
        user_type my_userdata;
        userdata = malloc(sizeof(user_type));
