IIO Interfacing Tools
=====================
1. Linux Kernel Tools
=====================
Linux Kernel provides some userspace tools that can be used to retrieve data
from IIO sysfs:
* lsiio: example application that provides a list of IIO devices and triggers
* iio_event_monitor: example application that reads events from an IIO device
and prints them
* iio_generic_buffer: example application that reads data from buffer
* iio_utils: set of APIs, typically used to access sysfs files.
2. LibIIO
=========
LibIIO is a C/C++ library that provides generic access to IIO devices. The
library abstracts the low-level details of the hardware, and provides a simple
yet complete programming interface that can be used for advanced projects.
