Nicholas Corgan 30f87afcba uhd: C API wrapper
* multi_usrp, multi_usrp_clock, and associated classes accessible through C
* Added Doxygen documentation explaining structure and API
* Simple RX and TX streaming examples
* Unit tests for different parts of C interface and C++ error conversion

\tableofcontents
\section coding_api Various API interfaces
\subsection coding_api_hilevel High-Level: The Multi-USRP
The Multi-USRP class provides a high-level interface to a single USRP device
with one or more channels, or multiple USRP devicess in a homogeneous
setup. See the documentation for uhd::usrp::multi_usrp.
\subsection coding_api_hilevelclock High-Level: The Multi-USRP-Clock
The Multi-USRP-Clock class provides a high-level interface to a single clock
device or set of clock devices, from which the time can be queried. See the
documentation for uhd::usrp_clock::multi_usrp_clock.
\subsection coding_api_hilevelc High-Level: The C API
Both USRP and clock devices can be interacted with using a C API wrapper included
by default in all UHD builds. More information can be found \subpage page_c_api "here".
\subsection coding_api_lowlevel Low-Level: The device API
A device is an abstraction for hardware that is connected to the host
system. For a USRP device, this means that the motherboard and
everything on it would be considered to be a "device". For a clock device, the
device itself would be considered a "device" in software. The device API
provides ways to:
- Discover devices that are physically connected to the host system.
- Create a device object for a particular device identified by
address.
- Register a device driver into the discovery and factory sub-system.
- Streaming samples with metadata into and out of the device.
- Set and get properties on the device object.
- Access various sensors on the device.
See the documentation for uhd::device.
