Thanks for the reply. Now it is clearer, to invoke brlapi, it is just enough to have only instance of brltty running ( for one braille-display). My reference to API is C-APIs. My objective is to Invoke C-APIs from an existing application to interact with refreshable braille display and LibLouise/daisy xml-integration. I think I have to go through a bit more of the documentation before seeking further help/clarifications. Thank you very much,Siju Samuel
