libimobiledevice is a 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. |
