Does iPad Pro (2018) support IOKit?

The new iPad Pro (2018) looks amazing. Now with USB-C!
Does that mean that apps for iPad now support IOKit? Or is USB-C port support limited to known and "made for iPad" devices (as before with lightning)?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. I'm just really excited to push apps to the next level!
Thank you,
Chris

IOKit has included iOS support since 2.0


Perhaps you're asking about I/O Kit ala macOS...

I came here to ask this same question! I'd be very interested in an API to talk over the new USB C port as well.
