COAP(7)				libcoap	Manual			       COAP(7)

NAME
       coap - Overview of the libcoap library

SYNOPSIS
       Summary of the different	libcoap	API manual pages.

DESCRIPTION
       libcoap is a C implementation of	a lightweight application-protocol for
       devices that are	constrained by their resources such as computing
       power, RF range,	memory,	bandwidth, or network packet sizes. This
       protocol, CoAP, is standardized by the IETF as RFC7252. For further
       information related to CoAP, see	http://coap.technology.

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

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

       NOTE: This documentation	is a work in progress. Any missing information
       can be found in the include header files	along with example code
       provided	in the examples	directory.
