There is sample code that replicates the previously built-in
gpio_line_find_by_name:
https://github.com/brgl/libgpiod/blob/master/examples/find_line_by_name.c
This uses dirent.h

I am still annoyed that the new API is so much less functional than
the old one.
(Especially as I wrote the original hal_gpio for fun, have never used
it myself, and now have the task of rewriting it when it doesn't feel
like fun)

Whether the existing driver could work with RTAI in the kernel I have
never tested, not having a non-ARM PC with usable GPIO (and RTAI being
x86-only AFAIK)
But the driver does have conventional provision for using different
versions of the RTAPI.
