+GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL - Get the values of requested lines.
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. c:macro:: GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL
+
+``int ioctl(int req_fd, GPIO_V2_LINE_GET_VALUES_IOCTL, struct gpio_v2_line_values *values)``
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``req_fd``
+ The file descriptor of the GPIO character device, as returned in the
+ :c:type:`request.fd<gpio_v2_line_request>` by gpio-v2-get-line-ioctl.rst.
+
+``values``
+ The :c:type:`line_values<gpio_v2_line_values>` to get with the ``mask`` set
+ to indicate the subset of requested lines to get.
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Get the values of requested lines.
+
+The values of both input and output lines may be read.
+
+For output lines, the value returned is driver and configuration dependent and
+may be either the output buffer (the last requested value set) or the input
+buffer (the actual level of the line), and depending on the hardware and
+configuration these may differ.
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 and the corresponding :c:type:`values.bits<gpio_v2_line_values>`
+contain the value read.
+
+On error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set appropriately.
+Common error codes are described in error-codes.rst.
