Description-en: Near Field Communication (NFC) examples
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.
.
Some examples are provided with libnfc for debugging and/or
educational purposes (nfc-anticol, nfc-emulate, etc.).
