+    libgpiod - C library and tools for interacting with the linux GPIO
+               character device
+
+Since linux 4.7 the GPIO sysfs interface is deprecated. User space should use
+the character device instead. This library encapsulates the ioctl calls and
+data structures behind a straightforward API.
+
+This is still work-in-progress and no interfaces are stable yet.
+
+Contributions are welcome - please use github pull-requests and stick to the
+linux kernel coding style.
