    ___ WHAT IS IT? ______________________________

    ev3_link is a part of ev3dev-c library which allows remote access to
    the EV3 brick from your program, over a network.

    ev3_link SERVER runs as a daemon on the EV3 brick and handles requests
    from a remote computer (client).

    The interchange protocol:

    * * *  How to build ev3_link SERVER

        cd ev3dev-c/source/ev3/ev3_link/
        make

    * * *  How to automatically start ev3_link SERVER

        cd ev3dev-c/
        sudo cp source/ev3/ev3_link/ev3_link_d /etc/init.d/
        sudo cp source/ev3/ev3_link/ev3_link /usr/local/sbin/
        sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/ev3_link_d
        sudo update-rc.d ev3_link_d defaults

    ___        ___________________________________
    ___ CLIENT ___________________________________

    Approximately every 5 seconds, ev3_link SERVER transmits broadcast
    messages to port 8800 (or other specified), that allows a client
    to detect the IP address of the EV3 brick. As well, you can specify
    the IP address of the server manually, before calling `ev3_init`:

        #include "ev3.h"

        #ifndef __ARM_ARCH_4T__
            ev3_brick_addr = "192.168.0.204";

        #endif

        ev3_init();

    Remote access to the EV3 brick is implied when you build a program
    not on __ARM_ARCH_4T__.
