-So let's say you want to access an i2c adapter from a C program. The

-first thing to do is "#include <linux/i2c-dev.h>". Please note that

+So let's say you want to access an i2c adapter from a C program.
|
|
|
+First, you need to include these two headers:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ #include <linux/i2c-dev.h>
|
|
|
+ #include <i2c/smbus.h>
|

+(Please note that there are two files named "i2c-dev.h" out there. One is

+distributed with the Linux kernel and the other one is included in the
|
|
|
+source tree of i2c-tools. They used to be different in content but since 2012
|
|
|
+they're identical. You should use "linux/i2c-dev.h").
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now, you have to decide which adapter you want to access. You should
|
|
|
inspect /sys/class/i2c-dev/ or run "i2cdetect -l" to decide this.
