+OVERVIEW
+
+This is a collection of simple modules that you extend IO objects with, to
+give them support for specific devices.  For example:
+
+	require "linux/SoundMixer"
+	f = File.open "/dev/mixer"
+	f.extend Linux::SoundMixer
+
+	# f now has special accessors for driver variables, e.g:
+
+	f.treble = left_speaker_percent + 256 * right_speaker_percent
+
+The modules are made of automatically generated methods, much like Ruby's
+accessors. those generators are called ioctl_reader, ioctl_writer,
+ioctl_accessor. Writing expects an integer in -2**31...2**31; reading will
+return the same. You may browse the source to find out which accessors are
+available, and it's easy to add support for more features.
