 > +# Background
 > +
 > +The IO device API is a interface to access IO address spaces via a device node
 > +and a file descriptor obtained after opening the device node. A registered IO
 > +driver provide a mapping from a logical identifier to a specific address where
 > +an IO device resides. The API does not directly interact with an device hardware.
 > +An application can use a common identifier to a local IO address map for a
 > +device who's address can vary depending on a bus configuration or the BSP hardware.
 > +
 > +An example use case for this API is PCI devices. Different hardware setups have
 > +different memory bus allocations. This API creates a common interface for using 
 > +attached device BAR spaces via memory regions and interrupts via events.
