+`streamio` is a translator for kernel stream devices,
+e.g. the kernel log messages or the parallel port.
+It is mainly used for kernel devices, so you will need root
+privileges to use it. It provides a basic interface for character
+devices. It is low-level and cannot provide device-specific `ioctl`s.
+It cannot provide buffering, data format conversions, etc.
