What's the advantage of using this compared to normal /sys/class/gpio sysfs access?

I did not write this program. Its header states:

Calao and Synapse Wireless ship the gpio9260 to allow script and users easy access to (primarily) push buttons. It is used like:
/usr/bin/gpio9260 ?PB10
Then the return code lets you know the state of the input. Or it can be used to set outputs, but in that case the /sys/class/led or other makes sense.

That is my mistake. I will fix that.

For Calao platfrom this is depricated

why dont u use the kernel instead via sysfs

If this need kernel modification I don't think it will go mainline

My comment as well.

It's just a glorified devmem2 (E.G. using /dev/mem). It turns out it's from 2004, so from before gpiolib got added to the kernel.

I read the source code of this package

it's a dangerous one, as it's play with the same register as done by the gpiolib.

So NACK
