+This is a fairly standard Rust wrapper project around a C library. It contains an unsafe _"-sys"_ sub-crate to wrap the C library API, and a higher-level, safe, Rust library in the main crate. The crate also contains utilities that interface with IIO devices via the library. To build the library and utilities:
 
 ```
 $ cargo build
 ```
 
+The library can be built with fewer dependencies. To build just the library:
+
+```
+$ cargo build --lib --no-default-features
