Shared library providing generic PCI device access across different operating systems.

Why you might care

Core dependency for X.org graphics drivers and low-level hardware tools that need to enumerate or interact with PCI devices. Abstracts platform differences (Linux sysfs, BSD, etc.) behind a uniform API. Primarily used as a build/runtime dependency rather than directly.
