# libstdc++-v3 Source Documentation

## Documentation Overview

@LEVEL@-level docs, generated @DATE@.

There are two types of documentation for libstdc++-v3. One is the distribution documentation, which can be read online at http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/documentation.html or offline from docs/html/documentation.html in the library source directory.

The other type is the source documentation, of which this is the first page. Both "user-level" and "maintainer-level" source documentation is produced: user-level docs are for the users of this library. The maint-level docs are for those interested in the underlying workings of the library; they include all the user-level docs plus additional notes and additional classes/functions/etc.

Here are entry points to all the pages generated by Doxygen:

- Modules
- Class List
- Class Annotated List
- Class Alphabetical Index
- Function Alphabetical List
- Namespace List
- Source File List
- TODO List (This is incomplete... how ironic.)

If you are using Doxygen for your own projects, you can use a tag file for the appropriate version and an entry such as

> TAGFILES = "libstdc++.tag = http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen"

Be sure to adjust the URL for the right version. If you download a local copy of the source documentation for faster viewing, you can use the doxytag/installdox programs (part of Doxygen) to adjust the links for you.

## Generating the documentation

These HTML pages are automatically generated, along with the man pages. See `docs/doxygen/guide.html` in the source tree for how to create (and write) the pages.
