Devices
=======
The **device** is the main unit of emulated components in 86Box. Each device has one or more ``device_t`` structures, which contain metadata about the device itself, several callbacks and an array of user-facing configuration options. Unless otherwise stated, all structures and functions in this page are provided by ``86box/device.h``.
