Calao and Synapse Wireless ship the gpio9260 to allow script and users easy
access to (primarily) push buttons. It is used like:
/usr/bin/gpio9260 ?PB10
Then the return code lets you know the state of the input. Or it can be
used to set outputs, but in that case the /sys/class/led or other makes
sense.

That is my mistake. I will fix that.
