The <code>extraRules</code> changes the owner of <code>gpiomem</code> and all other files needed for GPIO to work to <code>root:gpio</code> and changes the permissions to <code>0660</code>.
The <code>extraRules</code> changes the owner of <code>gpiomem</code> and all other files needed for GPIO to work to <code>root:gpio</code> and changes the permissions to <code>0660</code>.
Therefore, the root user and anyone in the gpio group can now access the GPIO pins.

Permissions on the <code>/dev/gpiochip*</code> devices are needed to support access through the newer '''GPIO character device''' interface (see [https://libgpiod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ libgpiod]).
