Not commonly used maybe but there is CANAL (CAN abstraction layer), It
is documented here
http://www.vscp.org/wiki/doku.php/canal_specification and there is
drivers for many common adapters and equipment (some listed here
http://www.vscp.org/wiki/doku.php/canal_vscp_drivers).
There is a lot of code around CANAL in the VSCP project. One API can
be used to talk directly to a device or through a device connected to
a server over the Internet or similar. Very easy to do simulated
systems on a machine or over TCP/IP. I use to support raw CAN in a
client application before but no one was interested in that so at the
moment I only do VSCP but will probably add raw CAN support to VSCP
Works in the future.
You also have canPie
https://sourceforge.net/projects/canpieOn linux you have socketCAN
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocketcanCANAL will support Socket CAN as soon as I get time to add a driver.
