33 The GNU C++ library sources have been specially formatted so that
34 with the proper invocation of another tool (Doxygen), a set of
35 indexed reference material can generated from the sources files
36 themselves. The resultant documentation is referred to as the API
37 documentation, and is useful for examining the signatures of public
38 member functions for the library classes, finding out what is in a
39 particular include file, looking at inheritance diagrams, etc.
43 The API documentation, rendered into HTML, can be viewed online
44 <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/">for each GCC release</link>
46 <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/latest-doxygen/index.html">
47 for the main development tree
49 (see the date on the first page).
53 The rendered HTML, as above, is also available for download on the
54 gcc.gnu.org site in a directory located at
55 <literal><URL:https://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/></literal>.
56 You will almost certainly need to use one of the
57 <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="https://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html">mirror sites</link> to download
58 the tarball. After unpacking, simply load libstdc++-html-*/index.html
63 In addition, a rendered set of man pages are available in the same
64 location specified above. Start with C++Intro(3).
