 Description     : Linux Kernel UserspaceIO helper library

A small Userspace IO driver helper library.
More details about UIO can be found here:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/driver-api/uio-howto.html

UIO can be used to map device memory and interrupts into user-space.
It is used to write user-space drivers for devices that do not fit in
any existing kernel subsystem.

libuio makes it easy to access a UIO device from user-space. It is
what is libgpio for GPIOs or libiio for IIO devices.

I would need a sponsor to upload this package.
