+
+Name
+====
+
+GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL - Update the configuration of previously requested lines.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL
+
+``int ioctl(int handle_fd, GPIOHANDLE_SET_CONFIG_IOCTL, struct gpiohandle_config *config)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``handle_fd``
+ The file descriptor of the GPIO character device, as returned in the
+ :c:type:`request.fd<gpiohandle_request>` by gpio-get-linehandle-ioctl.rst.
+
+``config``
+ The new :c:type:`configuration<gpiohandle_config>` to apply to the
+ requested lines.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Update the configuration of previously requested lines, without releasing the
+line or introducing potential glitches.
+
+The configuration applies to all requested lines.
+
+The same :ref:`gpio-get-linehandle-config-rules` and
+:ref:`gpio-get-linehandle-config-support` that apply when requesting the
+lines also apply when updating the line configuration.
+
+The motivating use case for this command is changing direction of
+bi-directional lines between input and output, but it may be used more
+generally to move lines seamlessly from one configuration state to another.
+
+To only change the value of output lines, use
+gpio-handle-set-line-values-ioctl.rst.
+
+First added in 5.5.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.
