### DESCRIPTION
``` c
led_t *led_new(void);
```
Allocate an LED handle.
Returns a valid handle on success, or NULL on failure.
------
``` c
int led_open(led_t *led, const char *name);
```
Open the sysfs LED with the specified name.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an allocated LED handle structure.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_read(led_t *led, bool *value);
```
Read the state of the LED into `value`, where `true` is non-zero brightness, and `false` is zero brightness.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`. `value` should be a pointer to an allocated bool.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_write(led_t *led, bool value);
```
Write the state of the LED to `value`, where `true` is max brightness, and `false` is zero brightness.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_close(led_t *led);
```
Close the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
void led_free(led_t *led);
```
Free an LED handle.
------
``` c
int led_get_brightness(led_t *led, unsigned int *brightness);
```
Get the brightness of the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_get_max_brightness(led_t *led, unsigned int *max_brightness);
```
Get the max brightness of the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_get_trigger(led_t *led, char *str, size_t len);
```
Get the active trigger for the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_get_triggers_entry(led_t *led, unsigned int index, char *str, size_t len);
```
Get the trigger name at position `index` of triggers available for the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_get_triggers_count(led_t *led, unsigned int *count);
```
Get the count of triggers available for the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_set_brightness(led_t *led, unsigned int brightness);
```
Set the brightness of the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_set_trigger(led_t *led, const char *trigger);
```
Set the active trigger for the LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
`trigger` should be a null-terminated string.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_name(led_t *led, char *str, size_t len);
```
Return the name of the sysfs LED.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
Returns 0 on success, or a negative [LED error code](#return-value) on failure.
------
``` c
int led_tostring(led_t *led, char *str, size_t len);
```
Return a string representation of the LED handle.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
This function behaves and returns like `snprintf()`.
------
``` c
int led_errno(led_t *led);
```
Return the libc errno of the last failure that occurred.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
------
``` c
const char *led_errmsg(led_t *led);
```
Return a human readable error message of the last failure that occurred.
`led` should be a valid pointer to an LED handle opened with `led_open()`.
### RETURN VALUE
The periphery LED functions return 0 on success or one of the negative error codes below on failure.
The libc errno of the failure in an underlying libc library call can be obtained with the `led_errno()` helper function. A human readable error message can be obtained with the `led_errmsg()` helper function.
| Error Code | Description |
|-----------------------|-----------------------------------|
| `LED_ERROR_ARG` | Invalid arguments |
| `LED_ERROR_OPEN` | Opening LED |
| `LED_ERROR_QUERY` | Querying LED attributes |
| `LED_ERROR_IO` | Reading/writing LED brightness |
| `LED_ERROR_CLOSE` | Closing LED |
### EXAMPLE
``` c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include "led.h"
int main(void) {
led_t *led;
unsigned int max_brightness;
led = led_new();
/* Open LED led0 */
if (led_open(led, "led0") < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "led_open(): %s\n", led_errmsg(led));
exit(1);
}
/* Turn on LED (set max brightness) */
if (led_write(led, true) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "led_write(): %s\n", led_errmsg(led));
exit(1);
}
/* Get max brightness */
if (led_get_max_brightness(led, &max_brightness) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "led_get_max_brightness(): %s\n", led_errmsg(led));
exit(1);
}
/* Set half brightness */
if (led_set_brightness(led, max_brightness / 2) < 0) {
fprintf(stderr, "led_set_brightness(): %s\n", led_errmsg(led));
exit(1);
}
led_close(led);
led_free(led);
return 0;
}
