gpio_level()

Get or set the GPIO level for a pin

Synopsis:

#include <hw/gpio_hw.h>

int32_t (*gpio_level)( gpio_header_t *gpio_hdr,
                       gpio_level_t *level,
                       uint8_t set );

Arguments:

gpio_hdr: A pointer to the GPIO header.
level: A pointer to the GPIO level.
set: The operation selector. The GPIO_CFG_SET flag sets the output level. Otherwise, the function returns the current level.

Description:

The gpio_enable() function gets or sets the GPIO enable state. Using this function is optional.

Returns:

EOK on success or errno if an error occurred.
