<title>GPhoto2 Overview</title>
<para>
GPhoto2 is a library for accessing a wide range of digital cameras.
It works on many UNIX-like platforms. GPhoto2 is released under the GNU
Library General Public License (GNU LGPL), which allows for flexible
licensing of client applications. GPhoto2 is written entirely in C and
has an object-oriented architecture that makes it easy for other
programming languages to access GPhoto2.
</para>
<para>
GPhoto2 doesn't depend on any external library. However, it is
strongly recommended that you have some library installed that handles
locking of serial ports. GPhoto2 currently supports

<title>GPhoto2 Utilities</title>

GPhoto2's core provides some utility functions and general
datatypes. In contrast to the
objects presented later, they
cannot be classified as objects, and are therefore presented upfront.

<title>GPhoto2 Objects</title>
<para>

approach has been used. The different objects are presented in
the following sections.
