Hi Marek!

Thanks for the patch, any new bindings are much appreciated! However
the 1.0.x branch has been unsupported for over 3 years. Why did you
decide to base your work on this one?

The currently supported branch for the 1.x series is 1.6.x but even
then I don't really want to add new features to it as we're currently
developing the 2.0 version which will become the new preferred base
for all new work. Any chance you could base your work on the
next/libgpiod-2.0 branch just like Viresh did with his Rust bindings?
