=========================

Overview
--------

libmodbus is a free software library to send/receive data with a
device which respects the Modbus protocol. This library can use a
serial port or an Ethernet connection.

The functions included in the library have been derived from the
Modicon Modbus Protocol Reference Guide which can be obtained from
Schneider at www.schneiderautomation.com.

The license of libmodbus is LGPL v3 and the licence of programs in tests
directory is GPL v3.

The library is written in C and designed to run on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and
QNX and Windows.

Installation
------------

The shell commands are ``./autogen.sh; ./configure; make; make install``.

If you want to compile with Microsoft Visual Studio, you need to install
http://code.google.com/p/msinttypes/ to fill the absence of stdint.h.
