+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL
+
+``int ioctl(int chip_fd, GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL, struct gpiochip_info *info)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``chip_fd``
+ The file descriptor of the GPIO character device returned by `open()`.
+
+``info``
+ The :c:type:`chip_info<gpiochip_info>` to be populated.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Gets the publicly available information for a particular GPIO chip.
+
+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.
