iio_attr [ options ] -d [device] [attr] [value]
iio_attr [ options ] -c [device] [channel] [attr] [value]

iio_attr [ options ] -C [attr]

DESCRIPTION

iio_attr is a utility for displaying information about local or remote IIO devices. By providing an optional value, iio_attr will attempt to write the new value to the attribute.

COMMANDS

Read and Write IIO device attributes
Read and Write IIO channel attributes
Read and Write IIO Buffer attributes
Read and Write IIO Context attributes
Read and Write IIO Debug attributes
Tells iio_attr to display some help, and then quit.
Prints the version information for this particular copy of iio_attr and the version of the libiio library it is using. This is useful for knowing if the version of the library and iio_attr on your system are up to date. This is also useful when reporting bugs.
Scan for available IIO contexts, optional arg of specific backend(s) 'ip', 'usb' or 'ip:usb'. Specific options for USB include Vendor ID, Product ID to limit scanning to specific devices 'usb=0456,b673'. vid,pid are hexadecimal numbers (no prefix needed), "*" (match any for pid only) If no argument is given, it checks all that are available.

OPTIONS

The Uniform Resource Identifier (uri) for connecting to devices, can be one of:
network address, either numeric (192.168.0.1) or network hostname
blank, if compiled with zeroconf support, will find an IIO device on network
normally returned from iio_attr -S
which are controlled, and need to match the iiod (or tinyiiod) on the other end of the serial port.
[port]
is something like '/dev/ttyUSB0' on Linux, and 'COM4' on Windows.
[baud]
is is normally one of 110, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 [default], 128000 or 256000, but can vary system to system.
[settings]
would normally be configured as '8n1' this is controlled by:
(5, 6, 7, 8 [default], or 9)
('n' none [default], 'o' odd, 'e' even, 'm' mark, or 's' space)
(1 [default, or 2)
('0' none [default], 'x' Xon Xoff, 'r' RTSCTS, or 'd' DTRDSR)
with no address part.
Filters channels by input channels only
Filters channels by output channels only
Filters channels by scan channels only
When pattern matching devices, channels or attributes, ignore case
Generate small C or python snippets that emulate what you are doing on the command line. Argument is a file name 'foo.c' or 'foo.py'

RETURN VALUE

If the specified device is not found, a non-zero exit code is returned.
