AVRLib

The AVRLib is essentially a collection of functions and macros that make accessing the functionality of the AVR microprocessor easier and more intuitive. The functions tend to have intuitive names, and follow a naming convention of filenameActionToPerform(), where filename is the descriptive name, beginning with a lowercase letter of the .c and .h file in which the function is contained (e.g. timer for timer functions or a2d for analog-to-digital conversion functions). The ActionToPerform() portion of the name normally describes what the function does. Most AVRLib files have an initialization function which must be called before the other functions for that file can be used, for example timerInit(), uartInit() and midiInit().
