77.Sh DESCRIPTION
78I2C is a two-wire bus developed by Philips used for connecting
79integrated circuits.
80It is commonly used for connecting devices such as EEPROMs,
81temperature sensors, fan controllers, real-time clocks, tuners,
82and other types of integrated circuits.
83.Pp
84The
85.Nm
86driver provides a uniform programming interface layer between I2C
87master controllers and various I2C slave devices.
88Each I2C master controller attaches an
89.Nm
90framework; several slave devices can then be attached to the
91.Nm
92bus.
93.Pp
94All I2C slave devices are uniquely identified by the address on the bus.
95The master accesses a particular slave device using its address.
96.\" Devices are found on the bus using a sophisticated scanning routine
97.\" which attempts to identify commonly available devices.
98.\" On other machines (such as sparc64 and macppc) where the machine ROM
99.\" supplies a list of I2C devices, that list is used instead.
100.Pp
101System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol is also supported by emulating
102it with the I2C commands.
103.Sh IOCTLS
104The following
105.Xr ioctl 2
106calls apply to
