## Introduction ##
The Ham Radio Control Libraries, Hamlib for short, is a development effort to provide a consistent interface for programmers wanting to incorporate radio control in their programs. Hamlib is not a complete user application, rather, it is a software layer intended to make controlling various radios and other shack hardware much easier. Hamlib will allow authors of such software as logging programs, digital communications programs, or those wanting to develop the ultimate radio control software to concentrate on the user interface and the basic function of the program rather than radio control.

Other devices, such as antenna rotators, can be placed into the hamlib control scheme. Other recent developments include network interface servers and a USB interface capability. Language bindings are provided for C, C++, Perl, Python, and TCL (more to come).

Hamlib was originally the project of Frank Singleton, VK3FCS/KM5WS and Stéphane Fillod, F8CFE. In the Hamlib 1.1.0 ALPHA announcement, Frank said, "Get on board and help us write the frontend and backend libs for all the rigs out there. If we can talk to it, we want to control it!!"
