## About

LizardByte has the full documentation hosted on [Read the Docs](https://libdisplaydevice.readthedocs.io/).

libdisplaydevice is a WIP library that provides a common interface for interacting with display devices.

It is intended to be used by applications that need to interact with displays, such as screen capture software,

remote desktop software, and video players.

Initial support is planned for Windows, but could be expanded to other platforms in the future.
