+ * @mainpage libsigrok API
+ *
+ * @section sec_intro Introduction
+ *
+ * The <a href="http://sigrok.org">sigrok</a> project aims at creating a
+ * portable, cross-platform, Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software
+ * suite that supports various device types (such as logic analyzers,
+ * oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).
+ *
+ * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Libsigrok">libsigrok</a> is a shared
+ * library written in C which provides the basic API for talking to
+ * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Supported_hardware">supported hardware</a>
+ * and reading/writing the acquired data into various
+ * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Input_output_formats">input/output
+ * file formats</a>.
+ *
+ * @section sec_api API reference
+ *
+ * See the "Modules" page for an introduction to various libsigrok
+ * related topics and the detailed API documentation of the respective
+ * functions.
+ *
+ * You can also browse the API documentation by file, or review all
+ * data structures.
+ *
+ * @section sec_mailinglists Mailing lists
+ *
+ * There are two mailing lists for sigrok/libsigrok: <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel">sigrok-devel</a> and <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-commits">sigrok-commits</a>.

+ *
+ * Initializing and shutting down libsigrok.
+ *
+ * Before using any of the libsigrok functionality, sr_init() must
+ * be called to initialize the library, which will return a struct sr_context
+ * when the initialization was successful.
+ *
+ * When libsigrok functionality is no longer needed, sr_exit() should be
+ * called, which will (among other things) free the struct sr_context.
+ *
+ * Example for a minimal program using libsigrok:
+ *
+ * @code{.c}
+ *   #include <stdio.h>
+ *   #include <libsigrok/libsigrok.h>
+ *
+ *   int main(int argc, char **argv)
+ *   {
+ *     int ret;
+ *     struct sr_context *sr_ctx;
+ *
+ *     if ((ret = sr_init(&sr_ctx)) != SR_OK) {
+ *             printf("Error initializing libsigrok (%s): %s.",
+ *                    sr_strerror_name(ret), sr_strerror(ret));
+ *             return 1;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     // Use libsigrok functions here...
+ *
+ *     if ((ret = sr_exit(sr_ctx)) != SR_OK) {
+ *             printf("Error shutting down libsigrok (%s): %s.",
+ *                    sr_strerror_name(ret), sr_strerror(ret));
+ *             return 1;
+ *     }
+ *
+ *     return 0;
+ *   }
+ * @endcode
