ATA S.M.A.R.T. Disk Health Monitoring Library

A small and lightweight parser library for ATA S.M.A.R.T. hard disk health monitoring. As the name suggests libatasmart only does ATA S.M.A.R.T., there is no support for SCSI harddisks. SCSI S.M.A.R.T. is a very different system, support for it should be implemented in a separate library "libscsismart" if there should ever be demand for it. This library is supposed to be lean and small and thus supports only a subset of the S.M.A.R.T. functionality. However, I claim that it implements the relevant part of it. If you need full control over all S.M.A.R.T. functionality of your hardware please refer to Buce Allen's smartmontools.
