OVERVIEW

This is a collection of simple modules that you extend IO objects with, to give them support for specific devices. For example:

require "linux/SoundMixer" f = File.open "/dev/mixer" f.extend Linux::SoundMixer

# f now has special accessors for driver variables, e.g:

f.treble = left_speaker_percent + 256 * right_speaker_percent

The modules are made of automatically generated methods, much like Ruby's accessors. those generators are called ioctl_reader, ioctl_writer, ioctl_accessor. Writing expects an integer in -2**31...2**31; reading will return the same. You may browse the source to find out which accessors are available, and it's easy to add support for more features.
