libgpiod gpiod_line_request output and keep existing value

[Mark Deneen <mdeneen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is it possible to use gpiod_line_request to set a given line as an
output but retain the current state of the line?  I can not use
gpiod_line_get_value to query the state since the line in question has
not been requested yet.

Let's say that I have a userspace process which sets a gpio to high
and I restart the process.  I would like for the output to remain high
when I request the line again in the new process.  This was possible
with gpiolib+sysfs, is it possible with libgpiod?
