iio_attr

iio_attr is part of the Libiio package, a library that has been developed to ease the development of software interfacing Linux Industrial I/O (IIO) devices.
This tool is written using the libiio Python bindings. It works in a very similar way of how the base iio_attr works. You can find more information about it on this page.
