+Hamlib (the ham radio control libraries)
+
+Hamlib is a development effort to provide a consistent C language
+interface for programmers wanting to incorporate radio controls
+in their programs. Network daemons for radio and rotator control,
+along with language bindings for C++, Perl, Python, and TCL are
+included.
+
+Although this release of Hamlib includes an Lua language binding,
+the lua package from slackbuilds.org is 5.1.5 but 5.2 or newer
+is required. Consequently, the Lua binding has not been included
+in this Slackbuild script.
