 ========================
 
-Linux Kernel Tools
-------------------
-
-Linux Kernel provides some userspace tools that can be used to retrieve data
-from IIO sysfs:
-
-* lsiio: example application that provides a list of IIO devices and triggers
-* iio_event_monitor: example application that reads events from an IIO device
-  and prints them
-* iio_generic_buffer: example application that reads data from buffer
-* iio_utils: set of APIs, typically used to access sysfs files.
-
-LibIIO
-------
-
-LibIIO is a C/C++ library that provides generic access to IIO devices. The
-library abstracts the low-level details of the hardware, and provides a simple
-yet complete programming interface that can be used for advanced projects.
-
-For more information about LibIIO, please see:

+See ``Documentation/iio/iio_tools.rst`` for the description of the available IIO
+interfacing tools.
