A device driver API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of routines, protocols, and tools that allow software applications to communicate with hardware devices through their drivers. It provides a standard way for applications to interact with various hardware components, such as printers, graphics cards, and storage devices, without needing to understand the specifics of the hardware implementation. By abstracting hardware details, the device driver API facilitates easier development and integration of software across different hardware platforms.
