NAME

       pigpiod_if2 - A C library to interface to the pigpio daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pigpiod_if2.h>

       gcc -Wall -pthread -o prog prog.c -lpigpiod_if2 -lrt

        ./prog

DESCRIPTION

       pigpiod_if2 is a C library for the Raspberry which allows control of the GPIO via the
       socket interface to the pigpio daemon.

   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 on the pigpio daemon

   GPIO
       ALL GPIO are identified by their Broadcom number.

   Notes
       The PWM and servo pulses are timed using the DMA and PWM/PCM peripherals.

   Usage
       Include <pigpiod_if2.h> in your source files.

       Assuming your source is in prog.c use the following command to build

       gcc -Wall -pthread -o prog prog.c -lpigpiod_if2 -lrt

       to run make sure the pigpio daemon is running

       sudo pigpiod

        ./prog # sudo is not required to run programs linked to pigpiod_if2

       For examples see x_pigpiod_if2.c within the pigpio archive file.

   Notes
       All the functions which return an int return < 0 on error

           Notes

           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 of the 18
           available GPIO frequencies is

             25(#1),    50(#2),   100(#3),   125(#4),    200(#5),    250(#6),
            400(#7),   500(#8),   625(#9),   800(#10),  1000(#11),  1250(#12),
           2000(#13), 2500(#14), 4000(#15), 5000(#16), 10000(#17), 20000(#18)

           The real value set by set_PWM_range is (dutycycle * real range) / range.

           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.

           frequency: >=0 (Hz).

           Returns the numerically closest frequency if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or
           PI_NOT_PERMITTED.

           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 sample rate is set when the pigpio daemon is
           started.

           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
                       156   125   100   63   50   31   25   13    6

                 10:  4000  2000  1000  800  500  400  250  200  160
                       125   100    80   50   40   25   20   10    5

       int get_PWM_frequency(int pi, unsigned user_gpio)

           Get the frequency of PWM being used on the GPIO.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.

           For normal PWM the frequency will be that defined for the GPIO by set_PWM_frequency.

           If a hardware clock is active on the GPIO the reported frequency will be that set by
           hardware_clock.

           If hardware PWM is active on the GPIO the reported frequency will be that set by
           hardware_PWM.

           Returns the frequency (in hertz) used for the GPIO if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO.

       int set_servo_pulsewidth(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned pulsewidth)

           Start (500-2500) or stop (0) servo pulses on the GPIO.

                   pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
            user_gpio: 0-31.
           pulsewidth: 0 (off), 500 (anti-clockwise) - 2500 (clockwise).

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_PULSEWIDTH or PI_NOT_PERMITTED.

           The selected pulsewidth will continue to be transmitted until changed by a subsequent
           call to set_servo_pulsewidth.

           The pulsewidths 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.

           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.

           Update Rate (Hz)     50   100  200  400  500
           1E6/Hz            20000 10000 5000 2500 2000

           Firstly set the desired PWM frequency using set_PWM_frequency.

           Then set the PWM range using set_PWM_range to 1E6/Hz.  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 GPIO 25 at 400Hz

           set_PWM_frequency(25, 400);
           set_PWM_range(25, 2500);

           Thereafter use the set_PWM_dutycycle function to move the servo, e.g.
           set_PWM_dutycycle(25, 1500) will set a 1500 us pulse.

       int get_servo_pulsewidth(int pi, unsigned user_gpio)

           Return the servo pulsewidth in use on a GPIO.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_NOT_SERVO_GPIO.

       int notify_open(int pi)

           Get a free notification handle.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           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.

           Pipes are only accessible from the local machine so this function serves no purpose if
           you are using the library from a remote machine.  The in-built (socket) notifications
           provided by callback should be used instead.

           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.

       int notify_begin(int pi, unsigned handle, uint32_t bits)

           Start notifications on a previously opened handle.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           handle: 0-31 (as returned by notify_open)
             bits: a mask indicating the GPIO to be notified.

           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 as follows:

           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.

       int notify_pause(int pi, unsigned handle)

           Pause notifications on a previously opened handle.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           handle: 0-31 (as returned by notify_open)

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

           Notifications for the handle are suspended until notify_begin is called again.

       int notify_close(int pi, unsigned handle)

           Stop notifications on a previously opened handle and release the handle for reuse.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           handle: 0-31 (as returned by notify_open)

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

       int set_watchdog(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned timeout)

           Sets a watchdog for a GPIO.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.
             timeout: 0-60000.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO or PI_BAD_WDOG_TIMEOUT.

           The watchdog is nominally in milliseconds.

           Only one watchdog may be registered per GPIO.

           The watchdog may be cancelled by setting timeout to 0.

           Once a watchdog has been started callbacks for the GPIO will be triggered every
           timeout interval after the last GPIO activity.

           The callback will receive the special level PI_TIMEOUT.

       int set_glitch_filter(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned steady)

           Sets a glitch filter on a GPIO.

           Level changes on the GPIO are not reported unless the level has been stable for at
           least steady microseconds.  The level is then reported.  Level changes of less than
           steady microseconds are ignored.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31
              steady: 0-300000

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, or PI_BAD_FILTER.

           This filter affects the GPIO samples returned to callbacks set up with callback,
           callback_ex and wait_for_edge.

           It does not affect levels read by gpio_read, read_bank_1, or read_bank_2.

           Each (stable) edge will be timestamped steady microseconds after it was first
           detected.

       int set_noise_filter(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned steady, unsigned active)

           Sets a noise filter on a GPIO.

           Level changes on the GPIO are ignored until a level which has been stable for steady
           microseconds is detected.  Level changes on the GPIO are then reported for active
           microseconds after which the process repeats.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31
              steady: 0-300000
              active: 0-1000000

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, or PI_BAD_FILTER.

           This filter affects the GPIO samples returned to callbacks set up with callback,
           callback_ex and wait_for_edge.

           It does not affect levels read by gpio_read, read_bank_1, or read_bank_2.

           Level changes before and after the active period may be reported.  Your software must
           be designed to cope with such reports.

       uint32_t read_bank_1(int pi)

           Read the levels of the bank 1 GPIO (GPIO 0-31).

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           The returned 32 bit integer has a bit set if the corresponding GPIO is logic 1.  GPIO
           n has bit value (1<<n).

       uint32_t read_bank_2(int pi)

           Read the levels of the bank 2 GPIO (GPIO 32-53).

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           The returned 32 bit integer has a bit set if the corresponding GPIO is logic 1.  GPIO
           n has bit value (1<<(n-32)).

       int clear_bank_1(int pi, uint32_t bits)

           Clears GPIO 0-31 if the corresponding bit in bits is set.

             pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           bits: a bit mask with 1 set if the corresponding GPIO is
                 to be cleared.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

           A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not allowed to write to one
           or more of the GPIO.

       int clear_bank_2(int pi, uint32_t bits)

           Clears GPIO 32-53 if the corresponding bit (0-21) in bits is set.

             pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           bits: a bit mask with 1 set if the corresponding GPIO is
                 to be cleared.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

           A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not allowed to write to one
           or more of the GPIO.

       int set_bank_1(int pi, uint32_t bits)

           Sets GPIO 0-31 if the corresponding bit in bits is set.

             pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           bits: a bit mask with 1 set if the corresponding GPIO is
                 to be set.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

           A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not allowed to write to one
           or more of the GPIO.

       int set_bank_2(int pi, uint32_t bits)

           Sets GPIO 32-53 if the corresponding bit (0-21) in bits is set.

             pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           bits: a bit mask with 1 set if the corresponding GPIO is
                 to be set.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_SOME_PERMITTED.

           A status of PI_SOME_PERMITTED indicates that the user is not allowed to write to one
           or more of the GPIO.

       int hardware_clock(int pi, unsigned gpio, unsigned clkfreq)

           Starts a hardware clock on a GPIO at the specified frequency.  Frequencies above 30MHz
           are unlikely to work.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
                gpio: see description
           frequency: 0 (off) or 4689-250M (13184-375M for the BCM2711)

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_NOT_PERMITTED, 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 hardware_PWM(int pi, unsigned gpio, unsigned PWMfreq, uint32_t 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 wave_send_* or wave_chain 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 when the pigpio daemon is started (option -t).

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
              gpio: see descripton
           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_NOT_PERMITTED, 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.

       uint32_t get_current_tick(int pi)

           Gets the current system tick.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           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.

       uint32_t get_hardware_revision(int pi)

           Get the Pi's hardware revision number.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           The hardware revision is the last few characters on the Revision line of
           /proc/cpuinfo.

           If the hardware revision can not be found or is not a valid hexadecimal number the
           function returns 0.

           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.

       uint32_t get_pigpio_version(int pi)

           Returns the pigpio version.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

       int wave_clear(int pi)

           This function clears all waveforms and any data added by calls to the wave_add_*
           functions.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           Returns 0 if OK.

       int wave_add_new(int pi)

           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
           wave_create function.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           Returns 0 if OK.

       int wave_add_generic(int pi, unsigned numPulses, gpioPulse_t *pulses)

           This function adds a number of pulses to the current waveform.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           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 solely of a delay.

       int wave_add_serial(int pi, 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.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.
                baud: 50-1000000
           data_bits: number of data bits (1-32)
           stop_bits: number of stop half bits (2-8)
              offset: >=0
            numBytes: >=1
                 str: an array of chars.

           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_STOP_BITS,
           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.

       int wave_create(int pi)

           This function creates a waveform from the data provided by the prior calls to the
           wave_add_* 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.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).

           The data provided by the wave_add_* functions is consumed by this function.

           As many waveforms may be created as there is space available.  The wave id is passed
           to wave_send_* to specify the waveform to transmit.

           Normal usage would be

           Step 1. wave_clear to clear all waveforms and added data.

           Step 2. wave_add_* calls to supply the waveform data.

           Step 3. wave_create to create the waveform and get a unique id

           Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.

           Step 4. wave_send_* with the id of the waveform to transmit.

           A waveform comprises one or 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 wave_create_and_pad(int pi, int percent)

           This function creates a waveform like wave_create but pads the consumed resources.
           Where percent gives the percentage of the resources to use (in terms of the
           theoretical maximum, not the current amount free). This allows the reuse
           of deleted waves while a transmission is active.

           pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           percent: 0-100, size of waveform as percentage of maximum available.

           The data provided by the wave_add_* functions are consumed by this function.

           As many waveforms may be created as there is space available. The wave id is passed to
           wave_send_* to specify the waveform to transmit.

           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.

           Normal usage:

           Step 1. wave_clear to clear all waveforms and added data.

           Step 2. wave_add_* calls to supply the waveform data.

           Step 3. wave_create_and_pad to create a waveform of uniform size.

           Step 4. wave_send_* with the id of the waveform to transmit.

           Repeat steps 2-4 as needed.

           Step 5. Any wave id can now be deleted and another wave of the same size
                   can be created in its place.

           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 wave_delete(int pi, unsigned wave_id)

           This function deletes the waveform with id wave_id.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           wave_id: >=0, as returned by wave_create.

           Wave ids are allocated in order, 0, 1, 2, etc.

           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).

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_WAVE_ID.

       int wave_send_once(int pi, unsigned wave_id)

           This function transmits the waveform with id wave_id.  The waveform is sent once.

           NOTE: Any hardware PWM started by hardware_PWM will be cancelled.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           wave_id: >=0, as returned by wave_create.

           Returns the number of DMA control blocks in the waveform if OK, otherwise
           PI_BAD_WAVE_ID, or PI_BAD_WAVE_MODE.

       int wave_send_repeat(int pi, unsigned wave_id)

           This function transmits the waveform with id wave_id.  The waveform cycles until
           cancelled (either by the sending of a new waveform or by wave_tx_stop).

           NOTE: Any hardware PWM started by hardware_PWM will be cancelled.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           wave_id: >=0, as returned by wave_create.

           Returns the number of DMA control blocks in the waveform if OK, otherwise
           PI_BAD_WAVE_ID, or PI_BAD_WAVE_MODE.

       int wave_send_using_mode(int pi, unsigned wave_id, unsigned mode)

           Transmits the waveform with id wave_id using mode mode.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           wave_id: >=0, as returned by wave_create.
              mode: PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT, PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT,
                    PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT_SYNC, or PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT_SYNC.

           PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT: same as wave_send_once.

           PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT same as wave_send_repeat.

           PI_WAVE_MODE_ONE_SHOT_SYNC same as wave_send_once but tries to sync with the previous
           waveform.

           PI_WAVE_MODE_REPEAT_SYNC same as wave_send_repeat but tries to sync with the previous
           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 hardware_PWM will be cancelled.

           Returns the number of DMA control blocks in the waveform if OK, otherwise
           PI_BAD_WAVE_ID, or PI_BAD_WAVE_MODE.

       int wave_chain(int pi, char *buf, unsigned bufSize)

           This function transmits a chain of waveforms.

           NOTE: Any hardware PWM started by hardware_PWM 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.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
               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.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.
                baud: 50-250000
           data_bits: 1-32

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_WAVE_BAUD, or PI_GPIO_IN_USE.

           The serial data is returned in a cyclic buffer and is read using bb_serial_read.

           It is the caller's responsibility to read data from the cyclic buffer in a timely
           fashion.

       int bb_serial_read(int pi, 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.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31, previously opened with bb_serial_read_open.
                 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 bb_serial_read_open 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 bb_serial_read_close(int pi, unsigned user_gpio)

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, or PI_NOT_SERIAL_GPIO.

       int bb_serial_invert(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned invert)

           This function inverts serial logic for big bang serial reads.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31, previously opened with bb_serial_read_open.
              invert: 0-1, 1 invert, 0 normal.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_NOT_SERIAL_GPIO or PI_BAD_SER_INVERT.

       int i2c_open(int pi, unsigned i2c_bus, unsigned i2c_addr, unsigned i2c_flags)

           This returns a handle for the device at address i2c_addr on bus i2c_bus.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
             i2c_bus: >=0.
            i2c_addr: 0-0x7F.
           i2c_flags: 0.

           No flags are currently defined.  This parameter should be set to zero.

           Physically buses 0 and 1 are available on the Pi.  Higher numbered buses will be
           available if a kernel supported bus multiplexor is being used.

           The GPIO used are given in the following table.

                   SDA   SCL
           I2C 0    0     1

       int i2c_zip(int pi, unsigned handle, char *inBuf, unsigned inLen, char *outBuf, unsigned
       outLen)

           This function executes a sequence of I2C operations.  The operations to be performed
           are specified by the contents of inBuf which contains the concatenated command codes
           and associated data.

           The following command codes are supported:

           Name      Cmd & Data   Meaning
           End       0            No more commands
           Escape    1            Next P is two bytes

           Write     7 P ...      Write P bytes of data

           The address, read, and write commands take a parameter P.  Normally P is one byte
           (0-255).  If the command is preceded by the Escape command then P is two bytes
           (0-65535, least significant byte first).

           The address defaults to that associated with the handle.  The flags default to 0.  The
           address and flags maintain their previous value until updated.

           The returned I2C data is stored in consecutive locations of outBuf.

           Example

           Set address 0x53, write 0x32, read 6 bytes
           Set address 0x1E, write 0x03, read 6 bytes
           Set address 0x68, write 0x1B, read 8 bytes
           End

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, or PI_NOT_I2C_GPIO.

       int bb_i2c_zip(int pi, unsigned SDA, char *inBuf, unsigned inLen, char *outBuf, unsigned
       outLen)

           This function executes a sequence of bit banged I2C operations.  The operations to be
           performed are specified by the contents of inBuf which contains the concatenated
           command codes and associated data.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
              SDA: 0-31 (as used in a prior call to bb_i2c_open)
            inBuf: pointer to the concatenated I2C commands, see below
            inLen: size of command buffer
           outBuf: pointer to buffer to hold returned data
           outLen: size of output buffer

           Returns >= 0 if OK (the number of bytes read), otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO,
           PI_NOT_I2C_GPIO, PI_BAD_POINTER, PI_BAD_I2C_CMD, PI_BAD_I2C_RLEN, PI_BAD_I2C_WLEN,
           PI_I2C_READ_FAILED, or PI_I2C_WRITE_FAILED.

           The following command codes are supported:

           Name      Cmd & Data     Meaning
           End       0              No more commands
           Escape    1              Next P is two bytes
           Start     2              Start condition
           Stop      3              Stop condition
           Address   4 P            Set I2C address to P
           Flags     5 lsb msb      Set I2C flags to lsb + (msb << 8)
           Read      6 P            Read P bytes of data
           Write     7 P ...        Write P bytes of data

           The address, read, and write commands take a parameter P.  Normally P is one byte
           (0-255).  If the command is preceded by the Escape command then P is two bytes
           (0-65535, least significant byte first).

           The address and flags default to 0.  The address and flags maintain their previous
           value until updated.

           No flags are currently defined.

           The returned I2C data is stored in consecutive locations of outBuf.

           Example

           Set address 0x53
           start, write 0x32, (re)start, read 6 bytes, stop
           Set address 0x1E
           start, write 0x03, (re)start, read 6 bytes, stop
           Set address 0x68
           start, write 0x1B, (re)start, read 8 bytes, stop
           End

           shifts the most significant bit out first.

           R is 1 if the least significant bit is received on MISO first, the default (0)
           receives the most significant bit first.

           The other bits in flags should be set to zero.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_USER_GPIO, PI_BAD_SPI_BAUD, or PI_GPIO_IN_USE.

           If more than one device is connected to the SPI bus (defined by SCLK, MOSI, and MISO)
           each must have its own CS.

           Example

           bb_spi_open(pi,10, MISO, MOSI, SCLK, 10000, 0); // device 1
           bb_spi_open(pi,11, MISO, MOSI, SCLK, 20000, 3); // device 2

       int spi_open(int pi, unsigned spi_channel, unsigned baud, unsigned spi_flags)

           This function returns a handle for the SPI device on the channel.  Data will be
           transferred at baud bits per second.  The flags may be used to modify the default
           behaviour of 4-wire operation, mode 0, active low chip select.

           The Pi has two SPI peripherals: main and auxiliary.

           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.

                      MISO   MOSI   SCLK   CE0   CE1   CE2

           spi_channel: 0-1 (0-2 for the auxiliary SPI).
                  baud: 32K-125M (values above 30M are unlikely to work).
             spi_flags: see below.

           Returns a handle (>=0) if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_SPI_CHANNEL, PI_BAD_SPI_SPEED,
           PI_BAD_FLAGS, PI_NO_AUX_SPI, or PI_SPI_OPEN_FAILED.

           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 spi_read, spi_write, and spi_xfer 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 character.
           For bits 9-16 there will be two bytes per character.
           For bits 17-32 there will be four bytes per character.

           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.

           The other bits in flags should be set to zero.

           It differs from custom_1 in that it returns an array of bytes rather than just an
           integer.

           The return value is an integer indicating the number of returned bytes.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
             arg1: >=0
             argc: extra (byte) arguments
            count: number of extra arguments
           retBuf: buffer for returned data
           retMax: maximum number of bytes to return

           Returns >= 0 if OK, less than 0 indicates a user defined error.

           Note, the number of returned bytes will be retMax or less.

       int get_pad_strength(int pi, unsigned pad)

           This function returns the pad drive strength in mA.

            pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           pad: 0-2, the pad to get.

           Returns the pad drive strength if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_PAD.

           Pad   GPIO
           0     0-27
           1     28-45
           2     46-53

           Example

           strength = get_pad_strength(pi, 0); //  get pad 0 strength

       int set_pad_strength(int pi, unsigned pad, unsigned padStrength)

           This function sets the pad drive strength in mA.

                    pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
                   pad: 0-2, the pad to set.
           padStrength: 1-16 mA.

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_PAD, or PI_BAD_STRENGTH.

           Pad   GPIO
           0     0-27
           1     28-45
           2     46-53

           Example

           set_pad_strength(pi, 0, 10); // set pad 0 strength to 10 mA

       int shell_(int pi, char *scriptName, char *scriptString)

           This function uses the system call to execute a shell script with the given string as
           its parameter.

                     pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
             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_(pi, "scr1", "hello world");

           // pass three parameters, hello, string with spaces, and world
           status = shell_(pi, "scr1", "hello 'string with spaces' world");

           // pass one parameter, hello string with spaces world
           status = shell_(pi, "scr1", "

       int file_open(int pi, char *file, unsigned mode)

           This function returns a handle to a file opened in a specified mode.

             pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           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 <pigpiod_if2.h>

           int main(int argc, char *argv[])
           {
              int pi, handle, c;
              char buf[60000];

              pi = pigpio_start(NULL, NULL);

              if (pi < 0) return 1;

              // assumes /opt/pigpio/access contains the following line
              // /ram/*.c r

              handle = file_open(pi, "/ram/pigpio.c", PI_FILE_READ);

              if (handle >= 0)
              {
                 while ((c=file_read(pi, handle, buf, sizeof(buf)-1)))
                 {
                    buf[c] = 0;
                    printf("%s", buf);
                 }

                 file_close(pi, handle);
              }

              pigpio_stop(pi);
           }

       int file_close(int pi, unsigned handle)

           This function closes the file associated with handle.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           handle: >=0 (as returned by file_open).

           Returns 0 if OK, otherwise PI_BAD_HANDLE.

           Example

           file_close(pi, handle);

       int file_write(int pi, unsigned handle, char *buf, unsigned count)

           This function writes count bytes from buf to the the file associated with handle.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           handle: >=0 (as returned by file_open).
              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

           if (file_write(pi, handle, buf, 100) == 0)
           {
              // file written okay
           }
           else
           {
              // error
           }

       int file_read(int pi, 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.

               pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           handle: >=0 (as returned by file_open).
              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

              bytes = file_read(pi, handle, buf, sizeof(buf));

              if (bytes >= 0)
              {
                 // process read data
              }

       int file_seek(int pi, unsigned handle, int32_t seekOffset, int seekFrom)

           This function seeks to a position within the file associated with handle.

                   pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
               handle: >=0 (as returned by file_open).
           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

           file_seek(pi, handle, 123, PI_FROM_START); // Start plus 123

           size = file_seek(pi, handle, 0, PI_FROM_END); // End, return size

           pos = file_seek(pi, handle, 0, PI_FROM_CURRENT); // Current position

       int file_list(int pi, char *fpat, char *buf, unsigned count)

           This function returns a list of files which match a pattern.

              pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
            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 file_open.

           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 <pigpiod_if2.h>

           int main(int argc, char *argv[])
           {
              int pi, handle, c;
              char buf[60000];

              pi = pigpio_start(NULL, NULL);

              if (pi < 0) return 1;

              // assumes /opt/pigpio/access contains the following line
              // /ram/*.c r

              c = file_list(pi, "/ram/p*.c", buf, sizeof(buf));

              if (c >= 0)
              {
                 buf[c] = 0;
                 printf("%s", buf);
              }

              pigpio_stop(pi);
           }

       int callback(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned edge, CBFunc_t f)

           This function initialises a new callback.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.
                edge: RISING_EDGE, FALLING_EDGE, or EITHER_EDGE.
                   f: the callback function.

           The function returns a callback id if OK, otherwise pigif_bad_malloc,
           pigif_duplicate_callback, or pigif_bad_callback.

           The callback is called with the GPIO, edge, and tick, whenever the GPIO has the
           identified edge.

           Parameter   Value    Meaning

           GPIO        0-31     The GPIO which has changed state

                                4294967295 to 0 roughly every 72 minutes

           The GPIO are sampled at a rate set when the pigpio daemon is started (default 5 us).

           The number of samples per second is given in the following table.

                         samples
                         per sec

                    1  1,000,000

                   10    100,000

           GPIO level changes shorter than the sample rate may be missed.

           The daemon software which generates the callbacks is triggered 1000 times per second.
           The callbacks will be called once per level change since the last time they were
           called.  i.e. The callbacks 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 gpio_read.  Remember the event that triggered the callback
           may have happened several milliseconds before and the GPIO may have changed level many
           times since then.

       int callback_ex(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned edge, CBFuncEx_t f, void *userdata)

           This function initialises a new callback.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.
                edge: RISING_EDGE, FALLING_EDGE, or EITHER_EDGE.
                   f: the callback function.
            userdata: a pointer to arbitrary user data.

           The function returns a callback id if OK, otherwise pigif_bad_malloc,
           pigif_duplicate_callback, or pigif_bad_callback.

           The callback is called with the GPIO, edge, tick, and the userdata pointer, whenever
           the GPIO has the identified edge.

           Parameter   Value    Meaning

           GPIO        0-31     The GPIO which has changed state

       int callback_cancel(unsigned callback_id)

           This function cancels a callback identified by its id.

           callback_id: >=0, as returned by a call to callback or callback_ex.

           The function returns 0 if OK, otherwise pigif_callback_not_found.

       int wait_for_edge(int pi, unsigned user_gpio, unsigned edge, double timeout)

           This function waits for an edge on the GPIO for up to timeout seconds.

                  pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           user_gpio: 0-31.
                edge: RISING_EDGE, FALLING_EDGE, or EITHER_EDGE.
             timeout: >=0.

           The function returns when the edge occurs or after the timeout.

           Do not use this function for precise timing purposes, the edge is only checked 20
           times a second. Whenever you need to know the accurate time of GPIO events use a
           callback function.

           The function returns 1 if the edge occurred, otherwise 0.

       int bsc_xfer(int pi, bsc_xfer_t *bscxfer)

           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.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           bscxfer: 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.

           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).

           Note that the control word sets the BSC mode.  The BSC will stay in that mode until a
           different control word is sent.

           The following example shows how to configure the BSC peripheral as an I2C slave with
           address 0x13 and send four bytes.

           Example

           bsc_xfer_t xfer;

           xfer.control = (0x13<<16) | 0x305;

           memcpy(xfer.txBuf, "ABCD", 4);
           xfer.txCnt = 4;

           status = bsc_xfer(pi, &xfer);

           if (status >= 0)
           {
              // process transfer
           }

       int bsc_i2c(int pi, int i2c_addr, bsc_xfer_t *bscxfer)

           This function allows the Pi to act as a slave I2C device.

           This function is not available on the BCM2711 (e.g.as used in the Pi4B).

           The data bytes (if any) are written to the BSC transmit FIFO and the bytes in the BSC
           receive FIFO are returned.

                 pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           i2c_addr: 0-0x7F.
            bscxfer: a structure defining the transfer.

           typedef struct
           {
              uint32_t control;          // N/A
              int rxCnt;                 // Read only
              char rxBuf[BSC_FIFO_SIZE]; // Read only
              int txCnt;                 // Write
              char txBuf[BSC_FIFO_SIZE]; // Write
           } bsc_xfer_t;

           txCnt is set to the number of bytes to be transmitted, possibly zero. The data itself
           should be copied to txBuf.

           Any received data will be written to rxBuf with rxCnt set.

           See bsc_xfer for details of the returned status value.

           If there was an error the status will be less than zero (and will contain the error
           code).

           Note that an i2c_address of 0 may be used to close the BSC device and reassign the
           used GPIO as inputs.

       int event_callback(int pi, unsigned event, evtCBFunc_t f)

           This function initialises an event callback.

              pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           event: 0-31.
               f: the callback function.

           The function returns a callback id if OK, otherwise pigif_bad_malloc,
           pigif_duplicate_callback, or pigif_bad_callback.

           The callback is called with the event id, and tick, whenever the event occurs.

       int event_callback_ex(int pi, unsigned event, evtCBFuncEx_t f, void *userdata)

           This function initialises an event callback.

                 pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
              event: 0-31.
                  f: the callback function.
           userdata: a pointer to arbitrary user data.

           The function returns a callback id if OK, otherwise pigif_bad_malloc,
           pigif_duplicate_callback, or pigif_bad_callback.

           The callback is called with the event id, the tick, and the userdata pointer whenever
           the event occurs.

       int event_callback_cancel(unsigned callback_id)

           This function cancels an event callback identified by its id.

           callback_id: >=0, as returned by a call to event_callback or
           event_callback_ex.

           The function returns 0 if OK, otherwise pigif_callback_not_found.

       int wait_for_event(int pi, unsigned event, double timeout)

           This function waits for an event for up to timeout seconds.

                pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
             event: 0-31.
           timeout: >=0.

           The function returns when the event occurs or after the timeout.

           The function returns 1 if the event occurred, otherwise 0.

       int event_trigger(int pi, unsigned event)

           This function signals the occurrence of an event.

              pi: >=0 (as returned by pigpio_start).
           event: 0-31.

           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
           event_callback) 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.

       user_gpio
       0-31, a Broadcom numbered GPIO.

       See gpio.

       *userdata

       A pointer to arbitrary user data.  This may be used to identify the instance.

       You must ensure that the pointer is in scope at the time it is processed.  If it is a
       pointer to a global this is automatic.  Do not pass the address of a local variable.  If
       you want to pass a transient object then use the following technique.

       In the calling function:

       user_type *userdata;
       user_type my_userdata;

       userdata = malloc(sizeof(user_type));
       *userdata = my_userdata;

       In the receiving function:

       user_type my_userdata = *(user_type*)userdata;

       free(userdata);

       void
       Denoting no parameter is required

       wave_add_*
