After doing this enough\ntimes, I wanted to finally put something proper together.\n\nThat said, this library is far from feature-complete and only really contains\nabstractions for the things I've needed to do. However, hopefully it can still\nbe useful for you.\n\n## Design Goals\n\nForemost, this library is intended to be simple and easy to use. However, a few\nother things that were in mind when designing this library were:\n\n- keeping the code freestanding, so that this library may be easily dropped\n  into a project and forgotten;\n- providing a pure C API, for maximum portability and so that bindings to other\n  languages may be easily written at a later time; and\n- returning (\"bubbling-up\") actual IOKit return codes wherever possible, as to\n  not obscure what went wrong if a function fails.\n\n## Usage\n\nThe example applications exist to illustrate how the library is used (and also\nto catch breaking changes). Most of the API should be pretty obvious, but I've\ntried to document the less-obvious parts in the header.\n\n## Building\n\nThis library has been designed so that you can simply drop the two source files\ninto your own project; you'll just need to link against Foundation and IOKit.\n\nHowever, you may also build it using CMake if you want to add it as a submodule\nor install it to your system.\n\n## License\n\nCopyright © 2022-2025 Jon Palmisciano.
