\subsection id_identifying_common Common device identifiers
Every device has several ways of identifying it on the host system:
-Identifier | Key | Notes | Example
------------|----------|-----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------
-Serial | serial | globally unique identifier | 12345678
-Address | addr | unique identifier on a network | 192.168.10.2
-Resource | resource | unique identifier for USRP RIO devices (over PCI Express) | RIO0
-Name | name | optional user-set identifier | my_usrp1 (User-defined value)
-Type | type | hardware series identifier | usrp1, usrp2, b200, x300, ...
+Identifier | Key | Notes | Example
