+ Introduction
+
+ libATA is a library used inside the Linux kernel to support ATA host
+ controllers and devices. libATA provides an ATA driver API, class
+ transports for ATA and ATAPI devices, and SCSI<->ATA translation
+ for ATA devices according to the T10 SAT specification.
+
+
+ This Guide documents the libATA driver API, library functions, library
+ internals, and a couple sample ATA low-level drivers.
