 - AVR Library. The typical built-in peripherals of the AVR microcontrollers are supported by the avrlib. We apply a typical coding style for these support packages. Application programs should have with and use clauses for the parent package AVR and have only with clauses and no use clauses for the support packages.  That results in calls like UART.Init or Timer2.Stop.
