This kind of control is very useful for +electronics projects that use the PC's parallel port as a generic digital I/O +interface. Parapin goes to great lengths to insulate the programmer from the +somewhat complex parallel port programming interface provided by the PC hardware, +making it easy to use the parallel port for digital I/O. By the same token, this +abstraction also makes Parapin less useful in applications that need to actually +use the parallel port as a parallel port (e.g., for talking to a printer). + +Parapin has two "personalities": it can either be used as a user-space C library, +or linked as part of a Linux kernel module. This SlackBuild provides user-space +only library. |
