 * @mainpage libserialport API
 *
 * Introduction
 * ============
 *
 * libserialport is a minimal library written in C that is intended to take
 * care of the OS-specific details when writing software that uses serial ports.
 *
 * By writing your serial code to use libserialport, you enable it to work
 * transparently on any platform supported by the library.
 *
 * The operations that are supported are:
 *
 * - @ref Enumeration (obtaining a list of serial ports on the system)
 * - @ref Ports
 * - @ref Configuration (baud rate, parity, etc.)
 * - @ref Signals (modem control lines, breaks, etc.)
 * - @ref Data
 * - @ref Waiting
 * - @ref Errors
 *
 * libserialport is an open source project released under the LGPL3+ license.
 *
 * API principles
 * ==============
 *
 * The API is simple, and designed to be a minimal wrapper around the serial
 * port support in each OS.
 *
 * Most functions take a pointer to a struct sp_port, which represents a serial
 * port. These structures are always allocated and freed by the library, using
 * the functions in the @ref Enumeration "Enumeration" section.
 *
 * Most functions have return type @ref sp_return and can return only four
 * possible error values:
 *
 * - @ref SP_ERR_ARG means that a function was called with invalid
 *   arguments. This implies a bug in the caller. The arguments passed would
 *   be invalid regardless of the underlying OS or serial device involved.
 *
 * - @ref SP_ERR_FAIL means that the OS reported a failure. The error code or
 *   message provided by the OS can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code()
 *   or sp_last_error_message().
 *
 * - @ref SP_ERR_SUPP indicates that there is no support for the requested
 *   operation in the current OS, driver or device. No error message is
 *   available from the OS in this case. There is either no way to request
 *   the operation in the first place, or libserialport does not know how to
 *   do so in the current version.
 *
 * - @ref SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a memory allocation failed.
 *
 * All of these error values are negative.
 *
 * Calls that succeed return @ref SP_OK, which is equal to zero. Some functions
 * declared @ref sp_return can also return a positive value for a successful
 * numeric result, e.g. sp_blocking_read() or sp_blocking_write().
