+GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL - Get the publicly available information for a line.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL
+
+``int ioctl(int chip_fd, GPIO_V2_GET_LINEINFO_IOCTL, struct gpio_v2_line_info *info)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``chip_fd``
+    The file descriptor of the GPIO character device returned by `open()`.
+
+``info``
+    The :c:type:`line_info<gpio_v2_line_info>` to be populated, with the
+    ``offset`` field set to indicate the line to be collected.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Get the publicly available information for a line.
+
+This information is available independent of whether the line is in use.
+
+.. note::
+    The line info does not include the line value.
+
+    The line must be requested using gpio-v2-get-line-ioctl.rst to access its
+    value.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 and ``info`` is populated with the chip info.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.
