event.c

Shows how to use event detection on an input pin

// event.c
//
// Example program for bcm2835 library
// Event detection of an input pin
//
// After installing bcm2835, you can build this 
// with something like:
// gcc -o event event.c -l bcm2835 
// sudo ./event
//
// Or you can test it before installing with:
// gcc -o event -I ../../src ../../src/bcm2835.c event.c
// sudo ./event
