1 libfbsplash and libfbsplashrender documentation
2 -----------------------------------------------

6 This document is an introductory documentation for libfbsplash and
12 Since 1.5, splashutils comes bundled with two libraries: libfbsplash
13 and libfbsplashrender. The libraries have two distinct purposes:
15 - lifbsplash: provides functions that can be useful for integrating
16 fbsplash with the initscript system or for controlling the fbsplash
17 daemon from third party applications,
19 - libfbsplashrender: provide functions to parse splash themes and
20 to display the silent splash screen (either to a memory buffer,
21 or directly on the screen). One would use libfbsplashrender e.g.
22 in software suspend applications (to provide a graphical interface
23 while suspending/resuming the system).
28 In order to use libfbsplash, add "#include <fbsplash.h>" to your program
29 and link it with "-lfbsplash".
31 In order to use libfbsplashredner, add "#include <fbsplash.h>" to your
32 program and link it with "-lfbsplashrender". If you link your program with
33 libfbsplashrender, you will automatically gain access to all features
34 provided by libfbsplash.
39 If you want a complete reference for all functions provided by
40 libfbsplash and libfbsplashrender, run `make doc` in the main
41 splashutils directory (requires doxygen) or have a look at the code
42 in libfbsplash.c and libfbsplashrender.c.
