The portable SDK for UPnP™ Devices (libupnp) provides developers with an API and open source code for building control points, devices, and bridges that are compliant with Version 1.0 of the Universal Plug and Play Device Architecture Specification and support several operating systems like Linux, *BSD, Solaris and others.
UPnP™ is an architecture that enables discovery, event notification, and control of devices on a network, independent of operating system, programming language, or physical network connection. UPnP™ is based on common Internet standards and specifications such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML. For detailed information about UPnP™, including the UPnP™ Device Architecture Specification, please visit the UPnP™ Forum web site.
In 2000, Intel created the first version of the Linux SDK for UPnP™ Devices and subsequently released it to the open source community to foster growth of UPnP™. To learn more about Intel's involvement with both UPnP™ and the SDK, please visit Intel's Universal Plug and Play web site.
In 2006 - after some years of stagnation and mismanagement - this 100% compatible fork of the original project was created to bring it back to life, support further development and to avoid that all the useful and important patches and efforts that have been provided by developers get lost because none of the original project maintainers/project developers were willing or able to integrate them into the source tree. This way, the project now continues using the name "Portable UPnP™" and as a project that is more open to contributions of the community. The main goal is the availability of the project for all important platforms to become a standard for UPnP™.
Documentation is available in PDF format from the downloads section. The documentation actually resides inside the source code itself and is built into the PDF file by an automated process. Documentation for each function resides in a comment section immediately preceding the function.
