 *
 * @section sec_intro Introduction
 *
 * The <a href="http://sigrok.org">sigrok</a> project aims at creating a
 * portable, cross-platform, Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software
 * suite that supports various device types (such as logic analyzers,
 * oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).
 *
 * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Libsigrok">libsigrok</a> is a shared
 * library written in C which provides the basic API for talking to
 * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Supported_hardware">supported hardware</a>
 * and reading/writing the acquired data into various
 * <a href="http://sigrok.org/wiki/Input_output_formats">input/output
 * file formats</a>.
 *
 * @section sec_error_handling Error handling
 *
 * libsigrok functions usually return @ref SR_OK upon success, or a negative
 * error code on failure.
 *
 * @section sec_mailinglists Mailing lists
 *
 * There are two mailing lists for sigrok/libsigrok: <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-devel">sigrok-devel</a> and <a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sigrok-commits">sigrok-commits</a>.
 *
 * @section sec_irc IRC
 *
 * You can find the sigrok developers in the
 * <a href="irc://chat.freenode.net/sigrok">\#sigrok</a>
