+ libgphoto2 is the core library designed to allow access to digital
+ camera by external programs. Here is an overview of the global
+ architecture:
+
+ It abstracts communication ports and camera protocol, to allow a
+ complete modularity. To support a new communication physical layer
+ (like IEEE1394), just add a new port to libgphoto2_port. To support
+ a new kind a digital camera, just provide a new camlib with the
+ required callbacks. All of this will be transparent to client
+ programs that call libgphoto2."
