SYNOPSIS

9       Summary of the different libcoap API manual pages.

DESCRIPTION

12       libcoap is a C implementation of a lightweight application-protocol for
13       devices that are constrained by their resources such as computing
14       power, RF range, memory, bandwidth, or network packet sizes. This
15       protocol, CoAP, is standardized by the IETF as RFC 7252. For further
16       information related to CoAP, see http://coap.technology.

18       Documentation for the specific library calls with examples can be found
19       in the man pages referred to in SEE ALSO.

21       Further information can be found in the include header files with
22       example code provided in the examples directory.
