# comms/libimobiledevice - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Libraries and tools to communicate with iOS devices

    libimobiledevice is a cross-platform software library that talks the
    protocols to support iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices.  Unlike
    other projects, it does not depend on using any existing proprietary
    libraries and does not require jailbreaking. It allows other software to
    easily access the device's filesystem, retrieve information about the device
    and its internals, backup/restore the device, manage SpringBoard icons,
    manage installed applications, retrieve addressbook/calendars/notes and
    bookmarks and (using libgpod) synchronize music and video to the device. The
    library is in development since August 2007 with the goal to bring support
    for these devices to the Linux Desktop.
