=head1 NAME

RFID::Libnfc::Reader - Access libnfc-compatible tag readers

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use RFID::Libnfc;

  $r = RFID::Libnfc::Reader->new();
  if ($r->init()) {
    printf ("Reader: %s\n", $r->name);
  }

  $tag = $r->connectTag(IM_ISO14443A_106);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

  This reader class allows to access RFID tags 
  (actually only mifare ones have been implemented/tested)
  readable from any libnfc-compatible reader

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.

=head2 Exportable functions

=head1 METHODS

=over

=item * name ( )

returns the name of the current reader

for ex.
$name = $r->name

=item * connect ( TAGFAMILY, BLOCKING )

tries to connect a tag and returns a new ready-to-use RFID::Libnfc::Tag object 
or undef if no tag is found.
If blocking is TRUE, connect won't return untill a tag is found in the field

for ex.
$tag = $r->connect( ISO14443A_106 )

NOTE: ISO14443A_106 is the only type actually implemented/supported

=item * pdi ( )

returns the underlying reader descriptor (to be used with the RFID::Libnfc procedural api)
$pdi = $r->pdi
