Naming a module                         {#naming}
===============

UPM attemps to follow a clear naming pattern. Modules should be sensibly named
and then placed in ${libdir}/upm and headers in ${includedir}/upm, all modules
should be prefixed with libupm-<modulename>. The upm_module_init will
automatically name python UPM modules as pyupm_<modulename> and javascript
modules as jsupm_<modulename>. For example for src/grove/ the library built
will be libupm-grove.so, the python module pyupm_grove and the js module
jsupm_grove.

### Choosing a name for a new module

1. Pick a name, typically the chip name is the most sensible
2. Use it & stick to it

### Rules for name picking

1. Your lib must belong to the UPM namespace
2. Usually picking the name of the chip of your sensor/actuator makes sense.
Other times this does not. Try to pick a generic name so people with a similar
sensor can inherit your class if they only have minor changes.
3. Avoid brand names, often your module can be very generic with little effort

### Doubt

If ever, give me a ping via email: brendan.le.foll@intel.com and I'll try
suggest decent names for your module.
