This manual documents the GPhoto2-Port library. It gives an overview of GPhoto2-Port, discusses examples that come with GPhoto2-Port and includes detailed documentation of the GPhoto2-Port API. GPhoto2-Port is the GPhoto2 I/O library. The benefit to using this library would be that all communications can be done quickly and without worry for device specific functions; all devices are abstracted to a point, allowing you to read/write to a device using the same interface. For example, you can set all the options on the serial port easily, and then read/write to that device. Additionally, you could easily switch over to a USB device, and read/write without having to learn the USB internals. The whole idea behind this is simplicity. It should be easy to write a program that uses any sort of serial-based device. This will take the hassle out of playing with low-level configurations and actually just get on to writing the core of the application. &gphoto2-port-log; &gphoto2-port-result; &gphoto2-port-info-list; &gphoto2-port; &gphoto2-port-library;
