- Parapin makes it easy to write C code under Linux that controls individual pins on a PC parallel port. This kind of control is very useful for
- electronics projects that use the PC's parallel port as a generic digital I/O interface. Parapin goes to great lengths to insulate the programmer
- from the somewhat complex parallel port programming interface provided by the PC hardware, making it easy to use the parallel port for digital
- I/O. By the same token, this abstraction also makes Parapin less useful in applications that need to actually use the parallel port as a parallel
- port (e.g., for talking to a printer).
