5Introduction and Overview

8The Linux FireWire subsystem adds some interfaces into the Linux system to
9 use/maintain+any resource on IEEE 1394 bus.
10
11The main purpose of these interfaces is to access address space on each node
12on IEEE 1394 bus by ISO/IEC 13213 (IEEE 1212) procedure, and to control
13isochronous resources on the bus by IEEE 1394 procedure.
14
15Two types of interfaces are added, according to consumers of the interface. A
16set of userspace interfaces is available via `firewire character devices`. A set
17of kernel interfaces is available via exported symbols in `firewire-core` module.
