  Description     : Software defined radio receiver for Realtek RTL2832U
dongles

rtl-sdr is a software defined radio (SDR) receiver software for certain
low-cost DVB-T/DAB(+) USB dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U chip.


I plan to make a librtlsdr, librtlsdr-dev, and rtl-sdr package (the
latter containing the binary tools shipped with rtl-sdr).

Available tools that ship with rtl-sdr currently include:

 - rtl_adsb: a simple ADS-B decoder for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers
 - rtl_eeprom: an EEPROM programming tool for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers
 - rtl_fm: a narrow band FM demodulator for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers
 - rtl_sdr: an I/Q recorder for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers
 - rtl_tcp: an I/Q spectrum server for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers
 - rtl_test: a benchmark tool for RTL2832 based DVB-T receivers

Note that there are also other tools using librtlsdr that are not part
of the 'rtl-sdr' project, those will have extra ITPs, but will be using
the librtlsdr shared library provided by this package.
