[PATCH libgpiod v3 00/16] doc: improvements for ReadTheDocs

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

One thing that this project is missing is nicely looking, accessible and
automatically updated documentation. I'd like to finally address it and
replace our static doxygen pages with sphinx docs.

I spent some time playing with sphinx, doxygen, breathe and exhale. It
turned out that exhale doesn't support doxygen groups and I really want
to have them for the core C API to avoid having to manually assign each
function to a specific module. That means we must use breathe on its own
to integrate our existing doxygen docs with .rst.

First 10 preparatory patches address existing issues in code
documentation. Patches 11-15 add sphinx docs for all project sections and
last patch moves most README contents into sphinx as well.

I allowed myself to publish this branch on RTD for testing purposes.

Once this is merged, I'l backport these changes to the v2.2.x branch
so that the documentation for the most recent release can become
available online too.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 01/16] build: set PACKAGE_URL

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

We don't set the package URL in AC_INIT() so the URL section in
pkgconfig files is empty. Set it to the address of the main git repo.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 02/16] bindings: cxx: doc: remove the gpiod_cxx doxygen group

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

Groups make sense for the C API as they allow us to nicely order
interfaces manipulating a given structure thematically but for C++ they
make less sense as methods are already typically part of a class.
Additionally for global functions, they seem to make it difficult for
breathe to look up the correct symbols.

Remove the gpiod_cxx group from Doxygen comments.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 03/16] bindings: python: doc: update the docstring for gpiod.request_lines()

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

The global request_lines() function was updated to take explicitly typed
arguments instead of just passing *args and **kwargs down to
Chip.request_lines(). However, the doc remained unchanged. Update it now
to reflect the actual function parameters.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 11/16] doc: provide sphinx docs for the core C API and C++ bindings

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

Current sphinx/ contents are mostly WiP. Let's beat them into shape for
publishing on ReadTheDocs.

Integrate the API documentation generated with doxygen for the core C
API and C++ bindings into sphinx using breathe.

Update configure.ac to check for sphinx-build in addition to doxygen and
make the main Makefile trigger a sphinx build on `make doc` (although
the docs can also be generated without starting the build system by
running: `sphinx-build ./doc/ doc/sphinx-output`).

Move the introduction text from the main header into the relevant .rst
file.

Remove obsolete Doxyfile.in and create a static Doxygen under doc/ where
all the documentation now lives.

Update .gitignore where needed.

 DOCUMENTATION
 -------------
 
-All API symbols exposed by the core C API and C++ bindings are documented with
-doxygen markup blocks. Doxygen documentation can be generated by executing
-'make doc' given that the doxygen executable is available in the system.
+The project uses sphinx to automatically generate the documentation. The system
+needs to provide doxygen and sphinx-build programs. With those in place, the
+build can be invoked with 'make docs'. This generates documentation for the
+core C API as well as C++ and python bindings.
 
-Python bindings contain help strings that can be accessed with the help
-builtin.
-
-Rust bindings use rustdoc.
+Rust bindings use rustdoc, GLib bindings use gi-docgen.
 
 Man pages for command-line programs are generated automatically if gpio-tools
 were selected and help2man is available in the system.

+   libgpiod core API documentation
+
+libgpiod core API
+=================
+
+This is the complete documentation of the public API made available to users of
+**libgpiod**.
+
+The API is logically split into several sections. For each opaque data class,
+there's a set of functions for manipulating it. Together they can be thought
+of as objects and their methods in OOP parlance.
+
+.. note::
+   General note on error handling: all functions exported by libgpiod that can
+   fail, set errno to one of the error values defined in errno.h upon failure.
+   The way of notifying the caller that an error occurred varies between
+   functions, but in general a function that returns an ``int``, returns ``-1``
+   on error, while a function returning a pointer indicates an error condition
+   by returning a **NULL pointer**. It's not practical to list all possible
+   error codes for every function as they propagate errors from the underlying
+   libc functions.
+
+In general libgpiod functions are **NULL-aware**. For functions that are
+logically methods of data classes - ones that take a pointer to the object of
+that class as the first argument - passing a NULL-pointer will result in the
+program aborting the execution. For non-methods, init functions and methods
+that take a pointer as any of the subsequent arguments, the handling of a
+NULL-pointer depends on the implementation and may range from gracefully
+handling it, ignoring it or returning an error.
+
+**libgpiod** is **thread-aware** but does not provide any further thread-safety
+guarantees. This requires the user to ensure that at most one thread may work
+with an object at any time. Sharing objects across threads is allowed if
+a suitable synchronization mechanism serializes the access. Different,
+standalone objects can safely be used concurrently.
+
+.. note::
+   Most libgpiod objects are standalone. Exceptions - such as events allocated
+   in buffers - exist and are noted in the documentation.

+====================================
+
+The **libgpiod** project provides a low-level C library, bindings to high-level
+languages and tools for interacting with the GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output)
+lines on Linux systems.
+
+It replaces the older, legacy GPIO sysfs interface, which has been deprecated
+in the Linux kernel. The newer GPIO character device interface (introduced in
+Linux kernel version 4.8) provides a more flexible and efficient way to
+interact with GPIO lines, and libgpiod is the primary tool for working with
+this interface.

-/**
- * @mainpage libgpiod public API
- *
- * This is the complete documentation of the public API made available to
- * users of libgpiod.
- *
- * The API is logically split into several sections. For each opaque data
- * class, there's a set of functions for manipulating it. Together they can be
- * thought of as objects and their methods in OOP parlance.
- *
- * General note on error handling: all functions exported by libgpiod that
- * can fail, set errno to one of the error values defined in errno.h upon
- * failure. The way of notifying the caller that an error occurred varies
- * between functions, but in general a function that returns an int, returns -1
- * on error, while a function returning a pointer indicates an error condition
- * by returning a NULL pointer. It's not practical to list all possible error
- * codes for every function as they propagate errors from the underlying libc
- * functions.
- *
- * In general libgpiod functions are NULL-aware. For functions that are
- * logically methods of data classes - ones that take a pointer to the object
- * of that class as the first argument - passing a NULL pointer will result in
- * the program aborting the execution. For non-methods, init functions and
- * methods that take a pointer as any of the subsequent arguments, the handling
- * of a NULL-pointer depends on the implementation and may range from gracefully
- * handling it, ignoring it or returning an error.
- *
- * libgpiod is thread-aware but does not provide any further thread-safety
- * guarantees. This requires the user to ensure that at most one thread may
- * work with an object at any time. Sharing objects across threads is allowed
- * if a suitable synchronization mechanism serializes the access. Different,
- * standalone objects can safely be used concurrently. Most libgpiod objects
- * are standalone. Exceptions - such as events allocated in buffers - exist and
- * are noted in the documentation.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 13/16] doc: add documentation for GLib bindings

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

The GObject docs are generated with gi-docgen and there doesn't seem to
be an easy way of converting them to sphinx. Let's put the GLib docs
statically into the sphinx output and reference them from the bindings
chapter.

+libgpiod GObject bindings API
+=============================
+
+**GObject bindings** for libgpiod provide a high-level, object-oriented
+interface to interact with GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) lines on Linux
+systems. These bindings leverage the **GObject framework**, commonly used in
+GNOME and GTK+ applications, to wrap the lower-level C API of libgpiod.
+
+.. warning::
+   The documentation for GObject bindings is generated using gi-docgen and
+   cannot be easily integrated with sphinx documentation. Please navigate to
+   a separate section dedicated exclusively to the GLib part of the API.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 14/16] doc: add documentation for gpio-tools

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

We already generate man pages for gpio-tools. Let's use man2html to make
them part of the sphinx docs.

[PATCH libgpiod v3 16/16] doc: move README contents to sphinx docs

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

We now have comprehensive documentation available online on readthedocs.
Let's not duplicate docs in README - move all information into the
sphinx files.

While at it: make the remaining README use markdown.

-libgpiod
-========
-
-  libgpiod - C library and tools for interacting with the linux GPIO
-             character device (gpiod stands for GPIO device)
-
-Since linux 4.8 the GPIO sysfs interface is deprecated. User space should use
-the character device instead. Version 2 of libgpiod requires GPIO character
-device uAPI v2 which was first released in linux 5.10. This library
-encapsulates the ioctl calls and data structures behind a straightforward API.
-
-RATIONALE
----------
-
-The new character device interface guarantees all allocated resources are
-freed after closing the device file descriptor and adds several new features
-that are not present in the obsolete sysfs interface (like event polling,
-setting/reading multiple values at once or open-source and open-drain GPIOs).
-
-Unfortunately interacting with the linux device file can no longer be done
-using only standard command-line tools. This is the reason for creating a
-library encapsulating the cumbersome, ioctl-based kernel-userspace interaction
-in a set of convenient functions and opaque data structures.
-
-Additionally this project contains a set of command-line tools that should
-allow an easy conversion of user scripts to using the character device.
-
-BUILDING
---------
-
-This is a pretty standard autotools project. The core C library does not have
-any external dependencies other than the standard C library with GNU extensions.
-
-The build system requires autotools, autoconf-archive, libtool and pkg-config
-to be installed on the host system for the basic build. Development files for
-additional libraries may be required depending on selected options. The
-configure script will report any missing additional required dependencies.
-
-The command-line tools optionally depend on libedit for the interactive feature.
-
-To build the project (including command-line utilities) run:
-
-    ./autogen.sh --enable-tools=yes --prefix=<install path>
-    make
-    make install
-
-The autogen script will execute ./configure and pass all the command-line
-arguments to it.
-
-If building from release tarballs, the configure script is already provided and
-there's no need to invoke autogen.sh.
-
-For all configure features, see: ./configure --help.
-
-TOOLS
------
-
-There are currently six command-line tools available:
-
-* gpiodetect - list all gpiochips present on the system, their names, labels
-               and number of GPIO lines
-
-* gpioinfo   - list lines, their gpiochip, offset, name, and direction, and
-               if in use then the consumer name and any other configured
-               attributes, such as active state, bias, drive, edge detection
-               and debounce period
-
-* gpioget    - read values of specified GPIO lines
-
-* gpioset    - set values of specified GPIO lines, holding the lines until the
-               process is killed or otherwise exits
-
-* gpiomon    - wait for edge events on GPIO lines, specify which edges to watch
-               for, how many events to process before exiting, or if the events
-               should be reported to the console
-
-* gpionotify - wait for changed to the info for GPIO lines, specify which
-               changes to watch for, how many events to process before exiting,
-               or if the events should be reported to the console
-
-Examples:
-
-    (using a Raspberry Pi 4B)
-
-    # Detect the available gpiochips.
-    $ gpiodetect
-    gpiochip0 [pinctrl-bcm2711] (58 lines)
-    gpiochip1 [raspberrypi-exp-gpio] (8 lines)
-
-    # Read the info for all the lines on a gpiochip.
-    $ gpioinfo -c 1
-    gpiochip1 - 8 lines:
-     line   0: "BT_ON"          output
-     line   1: "WL_ON"          output
-     line   2: "PWR_LED_OFF"    output active-low consumer="led1"
-     line   3: "GLOBAL_RESET"   output
-     line   4: "VDD_SD_IO_SEL"  output consumer="vdd-sd-io"
-     line   5: "CAM_GPIO"       output consumer="cam1_regulator"
-     line   6: "SD_PWR_ON"      output consumer="sd_vcc_reg"
-     line   7: "SD_OC_N"        input
-
-    # Read the info for particular lines.
-    $ ./gpioinfo PWR_LED_OFF STATUS_LED_G_CLK GLOBAL_RESET
-    gpiochip0 42 "STATUS_LED_G_CLK" output consumer="led0"
-    gpiochip1 2 "PWR_LED_OFF"    output active-low consumer="led1"
-    gpiochip1 3 "GLOBAL_RESET"   output
-
-    # Read the value of a single GPIO line by name.
-    $ gpioget RXD1
-    "RXD1"=active
-
-    # Read the value of a single GPIO line by chip and offset.
-    $ gpioget -c 0 15
-    "15"=active
-
-    # Read the value of a single GPIO line as a numeric value.
-    $ gpioget --numeric RXD1
-    1
-
-    # Read two values at the same time. Set the active state of the lines
-    # to low and without quoted names.
-    $ gpioget --active-low --unquoted GPIO23 GPIO24
-    GPIO23=active GPIO24=active
-
-    # Set the value of a line and hold the line until killed.
-    $ gpioset GPIO23=1
-
-    # Set values of two lines, then daemonize and hold the lines.
-    $ gpioset --daemonize GPIO23=1 GPIO24=0
-
-    # Set the value of a single line, hold it for 20ms, then exit.

-BINDINGS
---------
-
-High-level, object-oriented bindings for C++, GLib, python3 and Rust are
-provided. They can be enabled by passing --enable-bindings-cxx,
---enable-bindings-glib, --enable-bindings-python and --enable-bindings-rust
-arguments respectively to configure.
-
-C++ bindings require C++11 support and autoconf-archive collection if building
-from git.
-
-GLib bindings requires GLib (as well as GObject, GIO and GIO-Unix) v2.54.
-
-Python bindings require python3 support and libpython development files. Please
-refer to bindings/python/README.md for more information.
-
-Rust bindings require cargo support. When building the Rust bindings along the
-C library using make, they will be automatically configured to build against the
-build results of the C library. Please refer to bindings/rust/libgpiod/README.md
-for more information.
-
-DBUS
-----
-
-A commonly requested feature for the GPIO character device was state persistence
-after releasing the lines (as a kernel feature) or providing a central authority
-(in user-space) that would be in charge of keeping the lines requested and in a
-certain state (similarily to how the sysfs ABI works). DBus API has been
-provided to address this requirement. We define an interface covering the
-majority of the GPIO chardev's functionality and implement it from both the
-server and client sides in the form of the gpio-manager daemon and the gpiocli
-command-line utility for talking to the manager.
-
-DBus support can be built by passing --enable-dbus to configure. The daemon
-is bundled with a systemd unit file and an example configuration file for the
-io.gpiod1 interface that allows all users to access basic information about the
-GPIOs in the system but only root to request lines or change their values.
-
-With the manager running the user can run gpiocli to control GPIOs by asking
-gpio-manager to act on their behalf:
-
-    # Detect chips in the system.
-    $ gpiocli detect
-    gpiochip0 [INT34C6:00] (463 lines)
-
-    # Request a set of lines. Note that gpiocli exits immediately but the
-    # state of the lines is retained because it's the gpio-manager that
-    # requested them.
-    $ gpiocli request --output foo=active
-    request0
-
-    # Previous invocation printed out the name of the request by which the
-    # caller can refer to it later. All active requests can also be inspected
-    # at any time.
-    $ gpiocli requests
-    request0 (gpiochip1) Offsets: [5]
-
-    # We can print the information about the requested line using the
-    # information above.
-    $ gpiocli info --chip=gpiochip1 5
-    gpiochip1   5:	"foo"		[used,consumer="gpiocli request",managed="request0",output,push-pull]
-
-    # We can now change the value of the line.
-    $ gpiocli set foo=inactive
-
-    # And read it.
-    $ gpiocli get foo
-    "foo"=inactive
-
-    # We can even reconfigure it to input and enable edge-detection.
-    $ gpiocli reconfigure --input --both-edges request0
-
-    # And wait for edge events.
-    $ gpiocli monitor cos
-    21763952894920 rising  "foo"
-
-    # And finally release the request.
-    $ gpiocli release request0
-
-For more information please refer to the output of gpiocli --help as well as
-gpiocli <command> --help which prints detailed info on every available command.
-
-Of course - this being DBus - users can talk to gpio-manager using any DBus
-library available and are not limited to the provided client.
-
-TESTING
--------
-
-A comprehensive testing framework is included with the library and can be
-used to test both the core library code as well as the kernel-to-user-space
-interface.
-
-The minimum kernel version required to run the tests can be checked in the
-tests/gpiod-test.c source file (it's subject to change if new features are
-added to the kernel). The tests work together with the gpio-sim kernel module
-which must either be built-in or available for loading using kmod. A helper
-library - libgpiosim - is included to enable straightforward interaction with
-the module.
-
-To build the testing executable add the '--enable-tests' option when running
-the configure script. If enabled, the tests will be installed next to
-gpio-tools.
-
-As opposed to standard autotools projects, libgpiod doesn't execute any tests
-when invoking 'make check'. Instead the user must run them manually with
-superuser privileges.
-
-The testing framework uses the GLib unit testing library so development package
-for GLib must be installed.
-
-The gpio-tools programs can be tested separately using the gpio-tools-test.bash
-script. It requires shunit2[1] to run and assumes that the tested executables are
-in the same directory as the script.
-
-C++, Rust and Python bindings also include their own test-suites. All three
-reuse the libgpiosim library to avoid code duplication when interacting with
-gpio-sim.
-
-Python test-suite uses the standard unittest package. C++ tests use an external
-testing framework - Catch2 - which must be installed in the system. Rust
-bindings use the standard tests module layout and the #[test] attribute.
-
-DOCUMENTATION
--------------
-
-The project uses sphinx to automatically generate the documentation. The system
-needs to provide doxygen and sphinx-build programs. With those in place, the
-build can be invoked with 'make docs'. This generates documentation for the
-core C API as well as C++ and python bindings.
-
-Rust bindings use rustdoc, GLib bindings use gi-docgen.
-
-Man pages for command-line programs are generated automatically if gpio-tools
-were selected and help2man is available in the system.
-
-CONTRIBUTING
-------------
-
-Contributions are welcome - please send questions, patches and bug reports
-to the linux-gpio mailing list[2] by e-mailing to linux-gpio@vger.kernel.org
-(add the [libgpiod] prefix to the e-mail subject line).
-Note that the mailing list quietly drops HTML formatted e-mail, so be sure
-to send plain text[3].
-
-Code submissions should stick to the linux kernel coding style[4] and
-follow the kernel patch submission process[5] as applied to the libgpiod
-source tree. All shell scripts must pass `shellcheck` tests[9]. All files
-must have a license and copyright SPDX headers and the repo is expected to
-pass the `reuse lint` check[10].
-
-The mailing list archive[6] contains all the historical mails to the list,
-and is the place to check to ensure your e-mail has been received.
-Search for "libgpiod" to filter the list down to relevant messages.
-Those also provide examples of the expected formatting.
-Allow some time for your e-mail to propagate to the list before retrying,
-particularly if there are no e-mails in the list more recent than yours.
-
-There is a libgpiod github page[7] available for reporting bugs and general
-discussions and although PRs can be submitted and discussed, upstreambound
-patches need to go through the mailing list nevertheless while release
-tarballs should be fetched from kernel.org[8].

+Downloading, building & installing
+==================================
+
+Downloading
+-----------
+
+Libgpiod is packaged by several linux distributions. You should typically be
+able to install it using your package manager. If you want to build libgpiod
+from sources, the upstream git repository for libgpiod is hosted at
+`kernel.org <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libgpiod/libgpiod.git/>`_.
+together with
+`release tarballs <https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/software/libs/libgpiod/>`_.
+
+Building
+--------
+
+This is a pretty standard autotools project. The core C library does not have
+any external dependencies other than the standard C library with GNU extensions.
+
+The build system requires the following packages to be installed on the host
+system for the basic build:
+
+  * ``autotools``
+  * ``autoconf-archive``
+  * ``libtool``
+  * ``pkg-config``
+
+.. note::
+   Development files for additional libraries may be required depending on
+   selected options. The configure script will report any missing additional
+   required dependencies.
+
+To build the project (including command-line utilities) run:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   ./autogen.sh --enable-tools=yes
+   make
+
+.. note::
+   The command-line tools optionally depend on libedit for the interactive
+   feature.
+
+The autogen script will execute ``./configure`` and pass all the command-line
+arguments to it.
+
+.. note::
+   If building from release tarballs, the configure script is already provided
+   and there's no need to invoke autogen.sh.
+
+For all configure features, see: ``./configure --help``.
+
+Installing
+----------
+
+To install the project run:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   make install
+
+.. note::
+   The above may require superuser privileges.
+
+This will install libgpiod under the default system paths. If you want to
+install it under non-standard path, pass the ``--prefix=<install path>``
+option to ``configure``.

 Command-line tools
 ==================
 
+Overview
+--------
+
 The **libgpiod** project includes a suite of **command-line tools** to
 facilitate GPIO manipulation from console and shell scripts.
 
+There are currently six command-line tools available:
+
+* **gpiodetect**: list all gpiochips present on the system, their names, labels
+  and number of GPIO lines
+* **gpioinfo**: list lines, their gpiochip, offset, name, and direction, and if
+  in use then the consumer name and any other configured attributes, such as
+  active state, bias, drive, edge detection and debounce period
+* **gpioget**: read values of specified GPIO lines
+* **gpioset**: set values of specified GPIO lines, holding the lines until the
+  process is killed or otherwise exits
+* **gpiomon**: wait for edge events on GPIO lines, specify which edges to watch
+  for, how many events to process before exiting, or if the events should be
+  reported to the console
+* **gpionotify**: wait for changed to the info for GPIO lines, specify which
+  changes to watch for, how many events to process before exiting, or if the
+  events should be reported to the console

 Command-line client
 ===================
 
+With the manager running the user can run ``gpiocli`` to control GPIOs by
+asking the ``gpio-manager`` to act on their behalf.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Detect chips in the system:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli detect
+   gpiochip0 [INT34C6:00] (463 lines)
+
+Request a set of lines:
+
+.. note::
+   **gpiocli** exits immediately but the state of the lines is retained
+   because it's the **gpio-manager** that requested them.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli request --output foo=active
+   request0
+
+Previous invocation printed out the name of the request by which the caller
+can refer to it later. All active requests can also be inspected at any time:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli requests
+   request0 (gpiochip1) Offsets: [5]
+
+
+Print the information about the requested line using the information above:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli info --chip=gpiochip1 5
+   gpiochip1   5:      "foo"           [used,consumer="gpiocli request",managed="request0",output,push-pull]
+
+Change the value of the line:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli set foo=inactive
+
+Read it back:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli get foo
+   "foo"=inactive
+
+We can even reconfigure it to input and enable edge-detection:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli reconfigure --input --both-edges request0
+
+And wait for edge events:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli monitor cos
+   21763952894920 rising  "foo"
+
+And finally release the request:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+   $ gpiocli release request0
+
+.. note::
+   For more information please refer to the output of ``gpiocli --help`` as
+   well as ``gpiocli <command> --help`` which prints detailed info on every
+   available command.
+
+.. note::
+   Users can talk to **gpio-manager** using any **D-Bus** library available
+   and are not limited to the provided client.

+
+Testing
+=======
+
+A comprehensive testing framework is included with the library and can be used
+to test both the core library code as well as the kernel-to-user-space
+interface.
+
+The minimum kernel version required to run the tests can be checked in the
+``tests/gpiod-test.c`` source file (it's subject to change if new features are
+added to the kernel). The tests work together with the **gpio-sim** kernel
+module which must either be built-in or available for loading using kmod.
+A helper library - **libgpiosim** - is included to enable straightforward
+interaction with the module.
+
+To build the testing executable add the ``--enable-tests`` option when running
+the configure script. If enabled, the tests will be installed next to
+**gpio-tools**.
+
+As opposed to standard autotools projects, libgpiod doesn't execute any tests
+when invoking ``make check``. Instead the user must run them manually with
+superuser privileges.
+
+The testing framework uses the **GLib unit testing** library so development
+package for GLib must be installed.
+
+The **gpio-tools** programs can be tested separately using the
+``gpio-tools-test.bash`` script. It requires `shunit2
+<https://github.com/kward/shunit2>`_ to run and assumes that the tested
+executables are in the same directory as the script.
+
+C++, Rust and Python bindings also include their own test-suites. All three
+reuse the **libgpiosim** library to avoid code duplication when interacting
+with **gpio-sim**.
+
+Python test-suite uses the standard unittest package. C++ tests use an external
+testing framework - **Catch2** - which must be installed in the system. Rust
+bindings use the standard tests module layout and the ``#[test]`` attribute.

Should probably be "docs"? sphinx-build ./docs/ docs/sphinx-output

Building via `sphinx-build ./docs/ docs/sphinx-output` seems to work ok but building via `make docs` does not, maybe due to `make -C docs docs ` changing directory and requiring the prefix be present?

Maybe we should always use the "../" prefix and expect callers from the top directory to: `pushd docs; sphinx-build . ./sphinx-output; popd`

I think you're adding this because of my comment about LineRequest?
https://lore.kernel.org/all/PH1P110MB1603C49CC0A3B2E9CA3C91959F02A@PH1P110MB1603.NAMP110.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/

We could optionally remove this and add `:class-doc-from: both` to docs/python_line_request.rst

https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/extensions/autodoc.html#directive-option-autoclass-class-doc-from

This would drop `__init__` from everything, which should be ok since they largely lack docstrings and duplicate the class documentation about constructor arguments.

In the case where it's added, it will merge the docstring from __init__ to the class docstring.

It may drive updating the docstring for LineRequest.__init__ since it's fine to call methods on the object (and thus use) when it's the return value of a function call, but otherwise not OK to construct the object.
