Hardware API for CommonC++

[Marc Boris Dürner]

Hi, 
This may be the wrong mailinglist, but I couldnt find another on the 
CommonC++ website. 
 
I am interested in adding a hardware API to the CommonC++ library. I have 
started such a project and the code is in CVS here: 
http://www.arklinux.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/OSKit/HardwareKit/ 
 
The name OSKit is misleading and has nothing to do with the OSKit from the 
universty of utah. The hardware library is for device detection and 
read/write from userspace. It depends only on libstdc++ and is not a 
wrapper for libpci or such. Currently a PCI,USB,PCMCIA,PS2,Serial Device 
API is in development and read/write to a device interface is planned to be 
implemented as streams. 
 
The two main features are: 
- Obtaining Device Information. Device objects can be constructed from the 
system id. In case of PCI it is the bus/device/function value as seen 
in /proc or the registry. After contruction the device information can be 
accessed 
 
- Read/write to a device interface. A stream can be constructed from a 
device interface and read/write operations can be performed.  
 
Is there a place for this in CommonC++? 
 
regards, 
Marc
