+We provide a test client, named cec-client, to debug the device.
+To check whether the device can be detected, execute the following command:
+* cec-client -l
+
+"cec-client -h" shows a list of commands and options that are available.
 
-For developers:
-* see /include/cec.h for the C++ API and /include/cecc.h for the C version.
-* see src/testclient/main.cpp for an example
