<title>GPhoto2-Port Overview</title>
<para>
GPhoto2-Port is the GPhoto2 I/O library.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
