Description:

The Linux SDK for UPnP Devices (libupnp) provides developers with an API
and open source code for building control points, devices, and bridges that
are compliant with Version 1.0 of the Universal Plug and Play Device
Architecture Specification.

UPnP is an architecture that enables discovery, event notification, and
control of devices on a network, independent of operating system, programming
language, or physical network connection. UPnP is based on common Internet
standards and specifications such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML. For detailed
information about UPnP, including the UPnP Device Architecture Specification,
please visit the UPnP Forum web site.
