4. IIO Interfacing Tools
========================
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.
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.
For more information about LibIIO, please see:

See ``Documentation/iio/iio_tools.rst`` for the description of the available IIO
interfacing tools.
