  <!-- ======== Chapter 1: Introduction ======================== -->

  <chapter id="introduction">
    <title>పరిచయం</title>

    <para>ఈ అధ్యాయము GTK-Docను పరిచయం చేస్తుంది మరియు అది యేమిచేస్తుంది దానిని యెలా వుపయోగించాలి అనేదానిపై సంక్షిప్తంగా వివరిస్తుంది.</para>

    <sect1 id="whatisgtkdoc">
      <title>GTK-Doc అంటే యేమిటి?</title>

      <para>
        GTK-Doc is used to document C code. It is typically used to document the
        public API of libraries, such as GLib-based libraries, but it can also
        be used to document application code.
      </para>
    </sect1>

    <sect1 id="howdoesgtkdocwork">
      <title>GTK-Doc యెలా పనిచేయును?</title>

      <para>
        GTK-Doc works by reading specially-formatted comment blocks placed
        inside the source files to document symbols such as functions, macros,
        structs, enums, etc. (though note that for most kind of symbols GTK-Doc
        will only document the symbols that are declared in header files; for
        example it won't produce output for static functions).
      </para>

      <para>
        GTK-Doc also reads template files where documentation can be added there
        as well.
      </para>

      <para>
        GTK-Doc consists of a number of programs, each performing a different
        step in the process.
      </para>

      <para>
        The main steps are:
      </para>

      <orderedlist>

        <listitem>
          <para>
            <guilabel>Writing the documentation.</guilabel>

            The author fills in the source files with the documentation for each
            function, macro, structs or unions, etc.
          </para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>
            <guilabel>Gathering information about the code.</guilabel>

            <application>gtkdoc-scan</application> scans the header files of the
            code looking for declarations of functions, macros, enums, structs,
            and unions. It creates the file
            <filename>&lt;module&gt;-decl-list.txt</filename> containing a list
            of the declarations, placing them into sections according to which
            header file they are in. On the first run this file is copied to
            <filename>&lt;module&gt;-sections.txt</filename>. The author can
            rearrange the sections, and the order of the declarations within
            them, to produce the final desired order. The second file it
            generates is <filename>&lt;module&gt;-decl.txt</filename>. This file
            contains the full declarations found by the scanner. If for some
            reason one would like some symbols to show up in the docs, where the
            full declaration cannot be found by the scanner or the declaration
            should appear differently, one can place entities similar to the
            ones in <filename>&lt;module&gt;-decl.txt</filename> into
            <filename>&lt;module&gt;-overrides.txt</filename>.
         </para>
         <para>
            <application>gtkdoc-scangobj</application> can also be used to
            dynamically query a library about any GObject subclasses it exports.
            It saves information about each object's position in the class
            hierarchy and about any GObject properties and signals it provides.
          </para>
         <para>
            <application>gtkdoc-scanobj</application> should not be used
            anymore. It was needed in the past when GObject was still GtkObject
            inside GTK.
         </para>
        </listitem>

        <listitem>
          <para>
            <guilabel>Generating the XML and HTML/PDF.</guilabel>

            <application>gtkdoc-mkdb</application> turns the template files into
            XML files in the <filename class="directory">xml/</filename>
            subdirectory. If the source code contains documentation for symbols,
            using the special comment blocks, it gets merged in here. If there
            are no tmpl files used it only reads docs from sources and
            introspection data.
          </para>
          <para>
            <application>gtkdoc-mkhtml</application> turns the XML files into
            HTML files in the <filename class="directory">html/</filename>
            subdirectory. Likewise <application>gtkdoc-mkpdf</application> turns
            the XML files into a PDF document called
            <filename>&lt;package&gt;.pdf</filename>.
          </para>
          <para>
            Files in <filename class="directory">xml/</filename> and
            <filename class="directory">html/</filename> directories are always
            overwritten. One should never edit them directly.

          <para>
            <guilabel>Fixing up cross-references between documents.</guilabel>

            After installing the HTML files,
            <application>gtkdoc-fixxref</application> can be run to fix up any
            cross-references between separate documents. For example, the GTK
            documentation contains many cross-references to types documented in
            the GLib manual.
          </para>
          <para>
            When creating the source tarball for distribution,
            <application>gtkdoc-rebase</application> turns all external links
            into web-links. When installing distributed (pregenerated) docs the
            same application will try to turn links back to local links (where
            those docs are installed).

      <para>
        Historically GTK-Doc was used to generate template files from the sources
        code. These template files could be used by developers to enter the
        API documentation. This approach was rather inconvenient because it
        required to keep the generated files under version control.
        Since GTK-Doc 1.9 it became possible to place all API information
        into source comments, which made the template support obsolete.
        In version 1.26 template support has been removed.

      </listitem>
    </itemizedlist>

    <para>
      The following sections assume we work on a project called
      <code>meep</code>.
      This project contains two packages (or modules),
      a library called <code>libmeep</code> and an end-user app
      called <code>meeper</code>.
    </para>

    <sect1 id="settingup_docfiles">
      <title>స్కెల్టెన్ పత్రికీకరణను అమర్చుచున్నది</title>

      <para>
        A common convention is to place documentation into a folder called
        <code>docs</code> inside your top-level project directory.
        We usually distinguish between <emphasis>reference
        documentation</emphasis> intended for developers and an
        <emphasis>user manual</emphasis> intended for end-users.
        Again the convention is to have separate folders for both.
        We usually place the reference documentation in a folder named
        <code>reference</code> and the end-user manual in a folder named
        <code>help</code> as.

        According to the above convention the documentation for our
        <code>libmeep</code> package would be placed into:
        <code>docs/reference/libmeep</code>.

        For packages with just one library or application
        the documentation could also be placed directly into

        <para>
          Integration with <application>autoconf</application> is very simple
          and includes one required step and an additional optional
          (but recommended) step.

          The first step is to add the <function>GTK_DOC_CHECK</function> macro
          to your <filename>configure.ac</filename> script. This registers
          several configure options to enable GTK-Doc and allows you
          to set default arguments for <application>gtkdocize</application>.
        </para>

        <warning>
          <simpara>
            Make sure that the <code>GTK_DOC_CHECK</code> macro is not indented.
            The macro must start at the beginning of the line and should not
            start with whitespace.
          </simpara>
        </warning>

        <para>
          The second step is to add the <code>AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR(m4)</code>
          to your <filename>configure.ac</filename>. This is not required
          but helps <application>gtkdocize</application> to automatically copy
          the macro definition (e.g <filename>gtk-doc.m4</filename>) which
          contains the <function>GTK_DOC_CHECK</function> macro to your
          project's macro directory. Without this, the GTK_DOC_CHECK macro
          might not be found and you would need to explicitly tell the
          <application>aclocal</application> tool where to find the macro
          definition file.

        </para>

        <para>
          The above example works, but will require all developers to have
          gtk-doc installed. A better way is to make building the documentation
          optional as shown in the next example:

            <title>Integration with optional gtk-doc dependency</title>

])
]]></programlisting>

        <para>
          The first argument is used to check for the Gtk-Doc version at
          configure time. The 2nd, optional argument is used by
          <application>gtkdocize</application>.
          The <symbol>GTK_DOC_CHECK</symbol> macro also adds several configure
          switches:

      GTK-Doc uses source code comment with a special syntax for code documentation.
      Further it retrieves information about your project structure from other
      sources. During the next section you will find all information about the
      syntax of the comments.

      The GTK-Doc scanner can handle the majority of C headers fine. In the
      case of receiving warnings from the scanner that look like a special
      case, one can hint GTK-Doc to skip over them.

      <para>
        The 'documentation' block is also different for each symbol type. Symbol
        types that get parameters such as functions or macros have the parameter
        description first followed by a blank line (just a '*').
        Afterwards follows the detailed description. All lines (outside program
        listings and CDATA sections) just containing a ' *' (blank-asterisk) are
        converted to paragraph breaks.
        If you don't want a paragraph break, change that into ' *  '
        (blank-asterisk-blank-blank). This is useful in preformatted text (code
        listings).

        DocBook can do more than just links. One can also have lists,
        examples, headings, and images. As of version 1.20, the
        preferred way is to use a subset of the basic text formatting
        syntax called
        <ulink url="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</ulink>.
        On older GTK-Doc versions any documentation that includes
        Markdown will be rendered as is.  For example, list items will
        appear as lines starting with a dash.
      </para>

      <para>
        While markdown is now preferred one can mix both. One limitation here is
        that one can use docbook xml within markdown, but markdown within
        docbook xml is not supported.
      </para>

      <para>
        In older GTK-Doc releases, if you need support for additional
        formatting, you would need to enable the usage of docbook
        XML tags inside doc-comments by putting <option>--xml-mode</option>
        (or <option>--sgml-mode</option>) in the variable
        <symbol>MKDB_OPTIONS</symbol> inside <filename>Makefile.am</filename>.
      </para>

          As already mentioned earlier GTK-Doc is for documenting public API. Thus
          one cannot write documentation for static symbols. Nevertheless it is good
          to comment those symbols too. This helps other developers to understand
          your code.
          Therefore we recommend to comment these using normal comments (without the
          2nd '*' in the first line).
          If later the function needs to be made public, all one needs to do is to
          add another '*' in the comment block and insert the symbol name at the
          right place inside the sections file.

                    Stable
                    - The intention of a Stable interface is to enable arbitrary
                    third parties to develop applications to these interfaces,
                    release them, and have confidence that they will run on all
                    minor releases of the product (after the one in which the
                    interface was introduced, and within the same major release).
                    Even at a major release, incompatible changes are expected
                    to be rare, and to have strong justifications.

                    - Unstable interfaces are experimental or transitional.
                    They are typically used to give outside developers early
                    access to new or rapidly changing technology, or to provide
                    an interim solution to a problem where a more general
                    solution is anticipated.
                    No claims are made about either source or binary
                    compatibility from one minor release to the next.

          Struct comment blocks can also be used for GObjects and GObjectClasses.
          It is usually a good idea to add a comment block for a class, if it has
          vmethods (as this is how they can be documented). For the GObject
          itself one can use the related section docs, having a separate block
          for the instance struct would be useful if the instance has public
          fields. One disadvantage here is that this creates two index entries
          of the same name (the structure and the section).

]]></programlisting>
        </informalexample>
        The linkend is the SGML/XML id on the top item of the page you want to link to.
        For most pages this is currently the part ("gtk", "gdk", "glib") and then
        the page title ("Hash Tables"). For widgets it is just the class name.
        Spaces and underscores are converted to '-' to conform to SGML/XML.
      </para>

      <para>
        To refer to an external function, e.g. a standard C function:

  <programlisting language="C">
      ...

        or possibly this, for very short code fragments which don't need a title:

  <programlisting language="C">

        In both cases, the language attribute is optional and is used as a hint
        to the syntax highlighting engine (pygments for html output).
        For the latter GTK-Doc also supports an abbreviation:

    <sect1 id="metafiles_master">
      <title>Editing the master document</title>

      <para>
        GTK-Doc produces documentation in DocBook SGML/XML. When processing the
        inline source comments, the GTK-Doc tools generate one documentation
        page per class or module as a separate file. The master document
        includes them and place them in an order.
      </para>

      <para>
        While GTK-Doc creates a template master document for you, later runs will
        not touch it again. This means that one can freely structure the
        documentation. That includes grouping pages and adding extra pages.
        GTK-Doc has now a test suite, where also the master-document is recreated from scratch.
        Its a good idea to look at this from time to time to see if there are
        some new goodies introduced there.
      </para>

      <tip>
        <para>
          Do not create tutorials as extra documents. Just write extra chapters.
          The benefit of directly embedding the tutorial for your library into
          the API documentation is that it is easy to link for the tutorial to
          symbol documentation. Apart chances are higher that the tutorial gets
          updates along with the library.
        </para>
      </tip>

      <para>
        So what are the things to change inside the master document? For a start
        is only a little. There are some placeholders (text in square brackets)
        there which you should take care of.

        Finally you need to add new section whenever you introduce one. The
        <link linkend="modernizing-gtk-doc-1-16">gtkdoc-check</link> tool will
        remind you of newly generated xml files that are not yet included into
        the doc.

      <title>Editing the section file</title>

      <para>
        The section file is used to organise the documentation output by
        GTK-Doc. Here one specifies which symbol belongs to which module or
        class and control the visibility (public or private).
      </para>

      <para>
        The section file is a plain text file with tags delimiting sections.
        Blank lines are ignored and lines starting with a '#' are treated as
        comment lines.
      </para>

      <note>
        <para>
          While the tags make the file look like xml, it is not. Please do not
          close tags like &lt;SUBSECTION&gt;.
        </para>
      </note>

      <para>
        <example><title>Including generated sections</title>
          <programlisting><![CDATA[

<SUBSECTION Standard>
MEEP_APP

</SECTION>
]]></programlisting>
        </example>
      </para>

      <para>
        The &lt;FILE&gt; ... &lt;/FILE&gt; tag is used to specify the file name,
        without any suffix. For example, using '&lt;FILE&gt;gnome-config&lt;/FILE&gt;'
        will result in the section declarations being output in the template
        file <filename>tmpl/gnome-config.sgml</filename>, which will be
        converted into the DocBook XML file <filename>xml/gnome-config.sgml</filename>
        or the DocBook XML file <filename>xml/gnome-config.xml</filename>.
        (The name of the HTML file is based on the module name and the section
        title, or for GObjects it is based on the GObjects class name converted
        to lower case).
      </para>

      <para>
        The &lt;TITLE&gt; ... &lt;/TITLE&gt; tag is used to specify the title of
        the section. It is only useful before the templates (if used) are
        initially created, since the title set in the template file overrides
        this. Also if one uses SECTION comment in the sources, this is obsolete.
      </para>

      <para>
        You can group items in the section by using the &lt;SUBSECTION&gt; tag.
        Currently it outputs a blank line between subsections in the synopsis
        section.
        You can also use &lt;SUBSECTION Standard&gt; for standard GObject
        declarations (e.g. the functions like g_object_get_type and macros like
        G_OBJECT(), G_IS_OBJECT() etc.).
        Currently these are left out of the documentation.
        You can also use &lt;SUBSECTION Private&gt; for private declarations
        which will not be output (it is a handy way to avoid warning messages
        about unused declarations).
        If your library contains private types which you don't want to appear in
        the object hierarchy and the list of implemented or required interfaces,
        add them to a Private subsection.
        Whether you would place GObject and GObjectClass like structs in public
        or Standard section depends if they have public entries (variables,
        vmethods).
      </para>

      <para>
        You can also use &lt;INCLUDE&gt; ... &lt;/INCLUDE&gt; to specify the
        #include files which are shown in the synopsis sections.
        It contains a comma-separate list of #include files, without the angle
        brackets. If you set it outside of any sections, it acts for all
        sections until the end of the file. If you set it within a section, it
        only applies to that section.

  <chapter id="reports">
    <title>Controlling the result</title>

    <para>
      A GTK-Doc run generates report files inside the documentation directory.
      The generated files are named:
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;-undocumented.txt</filename>,
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;-undeclared.txt</filename> and
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;-unused.txt</filename>.
      All those are plain text files that can be viewed and postprocessed easily.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <filename>&lt;package&gt;-undocumented.txt</filename> file starts with
      the documentation coverage summary. Below are two sections divided by
      blank lines. The first section lists undocumented or incomplete symbols.
      The second section does the same for section docs. Incomplete entries are
      those, which have documentation, but where e.g. a new parameter has been
      added.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <filename>&lt;package&gt;-undeclared.txt</filename> file lists symbols
      given in the <filename>&lt;package&gt;-sections.txt</filename> but not
      found in the sources. Check if they have been removed or if they are
      misspelled.
    </para>

    <para>
      The <filename>&lt;package&gt;-unused.txt</filename> file lists symbol
      names, where the GTK-Doc scanner has found documentation, but does not
      know where to put it. This means that the symbol has not yet been added to
      the <filename>&lt;package&gt;-sections.txt</filename> file.
    </para>

    <tip>
      <para>
        Enable or add the <option>TESTS=$(GTKDOC_CHECK)</option> line in Makefile.am.
        If at least GTK-Doc 1.9 is installed, this will run sanity checks during
        <command>make check</command> run.
      </para>
    </tip>

    <para>
      One can also look at the files produced by the source code scanner:
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;-decl-list.txt</filename> and
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;-decl.txt</filename>. The first one can be
      compared with the section file if that is manually maintained. The second
      lists all declarations from the headers. If a symbol is missing one could
      check if this file contains it.
    </para>

    <para>
      If the project is GObject based, one can also look into the files produced
      by the object scanner:
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;.args.txt</filename>,
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;.hierarchy.txt</filename>,
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;.interfaces.txt</filename>,
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;.prerequisites.txt</filename> and
      <filename>&lt;package&gt;.signals.txt</filename>. If there are missing
      symbols in any of those, one can ask GTK-Doc to keep the intermediate
      scanner file for further analysis, by running it as
      <command>GTK_DOC_KEEP_INTERMEDIATE=1 make</command>.

  <chapter id="modernizing">
    <title>Modernizing the documentation</title>

    <para>
      GTK-Doc has been around for quite some time. In this section we list new
      features together with the version since when it is available.
    </para>

    <sect1 id="modernizing-gtk-doc-1-9">
      <title>GTK-Doc 1.9</title>

      <para>
        When using xml instead of sgml, one can actually name the master
        document <filename>&lt;package&gt;-docs.xml</filename>.
      </para>

      <para>
        This version supports <option>SCAN_OPTIONS=--rebuild-sections</option>
        in <filename>Makefile.am</filename>. When this is enabled, the
        <filename>&lt;package&gt;-sections.txt</filename> is autogenerated and
        can be removed from the vcs. This only works nicely for projects that
        have a very regular structure (e.g. each .{c,h} pair will create new
        section). If one organize a project close to that updating a manually
        maintained section file can be as simple as running
        <code>meld &lt;package&gt;-decl-list.txt &lt;package&gt;-sections.txt</code>.
      </para>

      <para>
        Version 1.8 already introduced the syntax for documenting sections in
        the sources instead of the separate files under <filename class="directory">tmpl</filename>.
        This version adds options to switch the whole doc module to not use the
        extra tmpl build step at all, by using <option>--flavour no-tmpl</option>
        in <filename>configure.ac</filename>. If you don't have a <filename class="directory">tmpl</filename>
        checked into your source control system and haven't yet switched, just
        add the flag to <filename>configure.ac</filename> and you are done.

        Version 1.18 brought some initial markdown support. Using markdown in
        doc comments is less intrusive than writing docbook xml. This version
        improves a lot on this and add a lot more styles. The section that

        The makefiles shipped with this version generate an entity file at <filename>xml/gtkdocentities.ent</filename>,
        containing entities for e.g. package_name and package_version. You can
        use this e.g. in the main xml file to avoid hardcoding the version
        number. Below is an example that shows how the entity file is included
        in the master template and how the entities are used.
        The entities can also be used in all
        generated files, GTK-Doc will use the same xml header in generated xml
        files.

    <title>Documenting other interfaces</title>

    <para>
      So far we have been using GTK-Doc to document the API of code. The next
      sections contain suggestions how the tools can be used to document other
      interfaces too.
    </para>

    <sect1 id="commandline-interfaces">
      <title>Command line options and man pages</title>

      <para>
        As one can generate man pages for a docbook refentry as well, it sounds
        like a good idea to use it for that purpose. This way the interface is
        part of the reference and one gets the man-page for free.

      <sect2 id="commandline-interfaces-file">

          Create one refentry file per tool. Following
          <link linkend="settingup_docfiles">our example</link> we would call it
          <filename>meep/docs/reference/meeper/meep.xml</filename>. For the xml

      This License is a kind of <quote>copyleft</quote>, which means

      We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
      free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
      free program should come with manuals providing the same
      freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited
      to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work,
      regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a
      printed book. We recommend this License principally for works
      whose purpose is instruction or reference.
