GPIOLOCK(4)                  Device Drivers Manual                 GPIOLOCK(4)

NAME
     gpiolock - support for multi-position keylocks attached to GPIO pins

SYNOPSIS
     gpiolock* at gpio? offset ? mask ?
     gpiolock* at gpio?

DESCRIPTION
     The gpiolock driver allows connecting of multi-position keylocks over
     GPIO pins.  The keylock driver registers with an in-kernel keylock
     supporting system and provides kauth(9) support through an experimental
     security model.  The keylock state can be queried using the hw.keylock
     sysctl variables.  Only locks with 2-4 positions are currently supported.
     The pin number is specified in the kernel configuration with the offset
     locator.  The mask locator denotes the pins used for the lock (minimum 2,
     maximum 4 pins are used).  The offset and mask can also be specified when
     gpiolock is attached at runtime using the GPIOATTACH ioctl(2) on the
     gpio(4) device.
