Package: hal (0.5.14-1)

Hardware Abstraction Layer

HAL provides an abstract view on hardware.

This abstraction layer is simply an interface that makes it possible to add support for new devices and new ways of connecting devices to the computer, without modifying every application that uses the device. It maintains a list of devices that currently exist, and can provide information about those upon request.

Tags: System Administration: Hardware Support, Hardware Enablement: Hardware Detection, Implemented in: C, User Interface: Daemon, Role: Program
