Rust API for writing client appliations and device drivers related to astronomy equipment that uses the INDIGO protocol and architecture. It is based on the standard INDIGO open source project that provides an API written in C and is ported to Rust through the bindgen generated FFI bindings.

[!CAUTION] The current version of LibINDIGO-rs should be considered alpha quality, i.e. a first draft for how INDIDGO development could look like with Rust. Please refer to the known issues page for details.

The libindigo-rs API is consists of five public modules:

• libindigo - Shared API for client and device driver development.
• libindigo/bus - API related to controlling the INDIGO bus.
• libindigo/client - API specific for developing INDIGO clients.
• libindigo/device - API specific for developing INDIGO device drivers.
• libindigo/server - API specific for managing INDIGO servers.

The client and device modules contains implementations of traits defined in the libindigo API, notable Device
