Most of the libraries, in multiple languages, interact with the GPIO pins via /sys/class/gpio/export, /sys/class/gpio/import, /sys/class/gpio/gpio10/value, etc. However the linux kernel docs clearly state that is the legacy way of doing things.



What is the non legacy way of doing things?



If I understand correctly in kernel space I would use these functions or standard kernel drivers for common GPIO tasks.



What would I use for user space? Is there a Sysfs interface for the non legacy?



PS: I aware the kernel docs state that the legacy integer-based interface although considered deprecated is still usable for compatibility reasons. However I'm not interested in using that legacy code.

sysfs has been deprecated and has been replaced with libgpiod.



https://www.beyondlogic.org/an-introduction-to-chardev-gpio-and-libgpiod-on-the-raspberry-pi/



The interactions are with /dev/gpiochipx rather than /sys/class/gpio.



The only obvious improvement (to me) is that GPIO events now have a time-stamp.
