Description-en: Near Field Communication (NFC) binaries
libnfc is a library for Near Field Communication. It abstracts the
low-level details of communicating with the devices away behind an
easy-to-use high-level API.
It supports most hardware based on the NXP PN531, PN532 or PN533
controller chips.
.
This package contains some utils that come along with libnfc, for
development or debugging purposes (including nfc-list, nfc-mfclassic,
nfc-mfultralight, etc).
