  Description     : CAN abstraction layer for portable CAN communication

CANvenient is a portability layer that provides a unified API for
Controller Area Network (CAN) communication on Windows and Linux.

It enables applications to interact with different CAN interfaces
and hardware using a consistent programming model.

The library abstracts multiple vendor-specific and system CAN APIs,
allowing developers to write portable software without targeting a
specific backend. Supported backends include SocketCAN on Linux and
vendor libraries such as Ixxat VCI, Kvaser CANlib, PCAN-Basic and
Softing CAN Layer 2.

CANvenient is intended for use in embedded, industrial and automotive
applications where portability across CAN hardware and platforms is
required.

I plan to maintain this package under the Electronics team.
