So let's say you want to access an i2c adapter from a C program. The
first thing to do is `#include <linux/i2c.h>" and "#include <linux/i2c-dev.h>.
Yes, I know, you should never include kernel header files, but until glibc
knows about i2c, there is not much choice.
first thing to do is "#include <linux/i2c-dev.h>". Please note that
there are two files named "i2c-dev.h" out there, one is distributed
with the Linux kernel and is meant to be included from kernel
driver code, the other one is distributed with lm_sensors and is
meant to be included from user-space programs. You obviously want
the second one here.
Now, you have to decide which adapter you want to access. You should
inspect /sys/class/i2c-dev/ to decide this. Adapter numbers are assigned
