+# libgpiod Scan Example
+
+This is a libgpiod client scanning all GPIO controllers for a given GPIO line.
+
+## Build
+```
+make
+```
+
+## Execute
+
+```
+./libgpiod-scan -n 10 -l 44
+```
+
+## Clean
+```
+make clean
+```
+
+## Wiring Example
+
+On a platform with multiple GPIO controllers, informs which one supports the given GPIO line
