+VXI11-Client version 0.01
+=========================
+
+This module is a wrapper around a C library that uses libc's built in
+Sun RPC support to talk to VXI11 networked instruments.
+
+It supports only one instrument at a time.
+
+Interrupts work by creating the interrupt channel, enabling interrupts 
+and then using wait_for_interrupt() to wait for an interrupt to happen.
+wait_for_interrupt() blocks until a interrupt happens or a timeout occurs. 
+If an interrupt happens before it is called it returns immediately.
+If multiple interrupts happen before it is called it will return immediately
+until all the fired interrupts are cleared.
+
+Return codes work like this;
+1   - is a success
+0   - means the request failed locally, the state inside the client is
+incorrect, i.e. calling to enable interrupts before creating the channel
+or that the server couldn't be contacted
+< 0 - Any negative value is the negated VXI-11 error code from the server
+
+The only exceptions to this are the read and write methods
+0   - Error as above or zero bytes read/written
+> 0 - Number of bytes read/written
