5 | The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform, | |
a5b2293f | 6 | Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various |
4a1c927f | 7 | device types (such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more). |

9 | libsigrok is a shared library written in C which provides the basic API | |
a5b2293f BV |
10 | for talking to hardware and reading/writing the acquired data into various |
11 | input/output file formats. | |

14 | Status |
15 | ------ | |
16 | ||
17 | libsigrok is in a usable state and has had official tarball releases. | |
18 | ||
19 | While the API can change from release to release, this will always be | |
20 | properly documented and reflected in the package version number and | |
21 | in the shared library / libtool / .so-file version numbers. | |
22 | ||
23 | However, there are _NO_ guarantees at all for stable APIs in git snapshots! | |
24 | Distro packagers should only use released tarballs (no git snapshots). | |
