.SS "Chips:"
.IP
A GPIO chip may be identified by number, name, or path.
e.g. '0', 'gpiochip0', and '/dev/gpiochip0' all refer to the same chip.
.SS "Periods:"
.IP
Periods are taken as milliseconds unless units are specified. e.g. 10us.
Supported units are 's', 'ms', and 'us'.
.SS "Format specifiers:"
.TP
%o
GPIO line offset
.TP
%l
GPIO line name
.TP
%c
GPIO chip name
.TP
%e
numeric info event type ('1' \- requested, '2' \- released or '3' \- reconfigured)
.TP
%E
info event type ('requested', 'released' or 'reconfigured')
.TP
%a
line attributes
.TP
%C
consumer
.TP
%S
event timestamp as seconds
.TP
%U
event timestamp as UTC
.TP
%L
event timestamp as local time
