What is this locking pin for a hinge called?

Question

The following is a picture of a locking pin for a tubular hinge which specifies Maritime use. I assume it has something to do with railings but I'm thinking of fabricating my own similar hinges. "Locking pin" seems awfully vague. I know I've seen this before; the little nub at the end is spring loaded and presses into the pin

Go to an agricultural machinery supplier - they have many... — Solar Mike, Mar 25 '21 at 14:09
a retaining pin, generally. "ring pin", or "ring pin with detent" should get good search results — Pete W, Mar 25 '21 at 14:26
This is also sometimes colloquially called a cotter pin, hitch pin, clevis pin or even pivot pin. But I kind of doubt you'll find it on a parts list under those names. — computercarguy, Mar 25 '21 at 23:13
A cotter pin is made from bent wire, that's pretty distinct IMO — Pete W, Mar 26 '21 at 03:54
The answer by @jko got it specifically -- one other name commonly used for this and similar shapes is a "pip pin" — Tristan, Mar 26 '21 at 16:27

That is a ring-grip quick-release pin, sometimes referred to as clevis pins. McMaster link

Yes! That's what I was looking for. Even a Google reverse photo search didn't find an answer. – Walter Mar 25 '21 at 22:50
