iio_attr - list IIO devices, and read/write device attributes

       All bugs are tracked at: https://github.com/analogdevicesinc/libiio/issues

libiio-0.26                                      27 January 2025                                     iio_attr(1)

       The iio_attr utility has a few main options, which control what the main utility of the application is.

       -d,--device-attr
              Read and Write IIO device attributes

       -c--channel-attr
              Read and Write IIO channel attributes

       -B--buffer-attr
              Read and Write IIO Buffer attributes

       -C--context-attr
              Read and Write IIO Context attributes

       -D--debug-attr
              Read and Write IIO Debug attributes

       -h,--help
              Tells iio_attr to display some help, and then quit.

       -V,--version
              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.

       -S,--scan[backends]
              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.

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.

-u,--uri
              The Uniform Resource Identifier (uri) for connecting to devices, can be one of:

              ip:[address]
                     network address, either numeric (192.168.0.1) or network hostname

              ip:    blank, if compiled with zeroconf support, will find an IIO device on network

              usb:[device:port:instance]
                     normally returned from iio_attr-S

              serial:[port],[baud],[settings]
                     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:

                            data_bits:
                                   (5, 6, 7, 8 [default], or 9)

                            parity_bits:
                                   ('n' none [default], 'o' odd, 'e' even, 'm' mark, or 's' space)

                            stop_bits:
                                   (1 [default, or 2)

                            flow_control:
                                   ('0' none [default], 'x' Xon Xoff, 'r' RTSCTS, or 'd' DTRDSR)

              local: with no address part.

       -i,--input-channel
              Filters channels by input channels only

       -o,--output-channel
              Filters channels by output channels only

       -s,--scan-channel
              Filters channels by scan channels only

       -I,--ignore-case
              When pattern matching devices, channels or attributes, ignore case

       -g,--generate-code<arg>
              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'

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