+ * and restore an existing configuration. It also ensures the
+ * changes are made together, via an efficient set of calls into
+ * the OS - in some cases a single system call can be used.
+ *
+ * Use accessor functions like sp_get_config_baudrate() and
+ * sp_set_config_baudrate() to get and set individual settings
+ * from a configuration.
+ *
+ * Configurations are allocated using sp_new_config() and freed
+ * with sp_free_config(). You need to manage them yourself.
+ *
+ * 2. As a shortcut, you can set individual settings on a port
+ * directly by calling functions like sp_set_baudrate() and
+ * sp_set_parity(). This saves you the work of allocating
+ * a temporary config, setting it up, applying it to a port
+ * and then freeing it.
+ *
+ * In this example we'll do a bit of both: apply some initial settings
+ * to the port, read out that config and display it, then switch to a
+ * different configuration and back using sp_set_config(). */
