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

105.Xr ioctl 2
