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.
