+liblxi is an open source software library which offers a simple API for
+communicating with LXI compatible instruments. The API allows applications to
+discover instruments on your network, send SCPI commands, and receive
+responses.
+
+Currently the library supports VXI-11/TCP and RAW/TCP connections. Future work
+include adding support for the newer and more efficient HiSlip protocol which
+is used by next generation LXI instruments.
+
+The library is based on the VXI-11 RPC protocol implementation which is part
+of the asynDriver EPICS module, which, at time of writing, is available from:
+http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/modules/soft/asyn/index.html
+
+NOTE: avahi is an optional dependency
