pigpiod

pigpiod is a script that allows to run pigpiod as a Linux service with root privileges. The advantage of running pigpiod as a service is that pigpiod can be automatically launched on system startup. To automatically start pigpiod as a service, do the following:

Copy pigpiod from this directory to /etc/init.d/.
Make it executable:
```
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/pigpiod
```
Tell update-rc.d to automatically start the pigpiod service on system startup:
```
sudo update-rc.d pigpiod defaults
```

Now, you can start, stop, and restart pigpiod using

sudo service pigpiod start
sudo service pigpiod stop
sudo service pigpiod restart

Findpigpio.cmake

Findpigpio.cmake is a script used by CMake to find out where the pigpio header and library files are located.
