\section coding_api Various API interfaces

\subsection coding_api_hilevel High-Level: The Multi-USRP

The Multi-USRP class provides a fat interface to a single USRP device
with one or more channels, or multiple USRP devicess in a homogeneous
setup. See the documentation for uhd::usrp::multi_usrp.

\subsection coding_api_lowlevel Low-Level: The device API

A device is an abstraction for hardware that is connected to the host
system. For a USRP device, this means that the motherboard and
everything on it would be considered to be a "device". The device API
provides ways to:

-   Discover devices that are physically connected to the host system.
-   Create a device object for a particular device identified by
    address.
-   Register a device driver into the discovery and factory sub-system.
-   Streaming samples with metadata into and out of the device.
-   Set and get properties on the device object.

See the documentation for uhd::device.
