# NAME

`onewire` — 1-Wire bus

# SYNOPSIS

`onewire* at gpioow?`

`option ONEWIREVERBOSE`

# DESCRIPTION

1-Wire bus was originally developed by Dallas Semiconductor for connecting integrated circuits. It is commonly used for connecting devices such as electronic keys, EEPROMs, temperature sensors, real-time clocks, security chips, etc.

The `onewire` driver provides a uniform programming interface layer between 1-Wire master controllers and various 1-Wire slave devices. Each 1-Wire master controller attaches a `onewire` framework; several slave devices can then be attached to the `onewire` bus.

The driver supports plugging and unplugging slave devices on the fly.
