/** \file
 *
 * EtherCAT master application interface.
 *
 * \defgroup ApplicationInterface EtherCAT Application Interface
 *
 * EtherCAT interface for realtime applications. This interface is designed
 * for realtime modules that want to use EtherCAT. There are functions to
 * request a master, to map process data, to communicate with slaves via CoE
 * and to configure and activate the bus.
 *
 * Changes in version 1.5:
 *
 * - Added the distributed clocks feature and the respective method
 *   ecrt_slave_config_dc() to configure a slave for cyclic operation, and
 *   ecrt_master_application_time(), ecrt_master_sync_reference_clock() and
 *   ecrt_master_sync_slave_clocks() for offset and drift compensation. The
 *   EC_TIMEVAL2NANO() macro can be used for epoch time conversion, while the
 *   ecrt_master_sync_monitor_queue() and ecrt_master_sync_monitor_process()
 *   methods can be used to monitor the synchrony.
 * - Improved the callback mechanism. ecrt_master_callbacks() now takes two
 *   callback functions for locking and unlocking the fsm datagram queue.
 * - Added watchdog configuration (method ecrt_slave_config_watchdog(),
 *   #ec_watchdog_mode_t, \a watchdog_mode parameter in ec_sync_info_t and
 *   ecrt_slave_config_sync_manager()).
 * - Added ecrt_slave_config_complete_sdo() method to download an SDO during
 *   configuration via CompleteAccess.
 * - Added ecrt_master_deactivate() to remove the bus configuration.
 * - Added ecrt_open_master() and ecrt_master_reserve() separation for
 *   userspace.
 * - Added bus information interface (methods ecrt_master(),
 *   ecrt_master_get_slave(), ecrt_master_get_sync_manager(),
 *   ecrt_master_get_pdo() and ecrt_master_get_pdo_entry()) to get information
 *   about the currently connected slaves and the PDO entries provided.
 * - Added ecrt_master_sdo_download(), ecrt_master_sdo_download_complete() and
 *   ecrt_master_sdo_upload() methods to let an application transfer SDOs
 *   before activating the master.
 * - Changed the meaning of the negative return values of
 *   ecrt_slave_config_reg_pdo_entry() and ecrt_slave_config_sdo*().
 * - Implemented the Vendor-specific over EtherCAT mailbox protocol. See
 *   ecrt_slave_config_create_voe_handler().
 * - Renamed ec_sdo_request_state_t to #ec_request_state_t, because it is also
 *   used by VoE handlers.
 * - Removed 'const' from argument of ecrt_sdo_request_state(), because the
 *   userspace library has to modify object internals.
 * - Added 64-bit data access macros.
 * - Added ecrt_slave_config_idn() method for storing SoE IDN configurations,
 *   and ecrt_master_read_idn() and ecrt_master_write_idn() to read/write IDNs
 *   ad-hoc via the user-space library.
 * - Added ecrt_master_reset() to initiate retrying to configure slaves.
 * - Added support for overlapping PDOs which allows inputs to use the same
 *   space as outputs on the frame. This reduces the frame length.
