30 The GNU C++ library sources have been specially formatted so that
31 with the proper invocation of another tool (Doxygen), a set of
32 indexed reference material can generated from the sources files
33 themselves. The resultant documentation is referred to as the API
34 documentation, and is useful for examining the signatures of public
35 member functions for the library classes, finding out what is in a
36 particular include file, looking at inheritance diagrams, etc.
40 The API documentation, rendered into HTML, can be viewed online:

90 The rendered HTML, as above, is also available for download on the
91 gcc.org site in a directory located at
92 <literal><URL:ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/></literal>.
93 You will almost certainly need to use one of the
94 <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html">mirror sites</link> to download
95 the tarball. After unpacking, simply load libstdc++-html-*/index.html
100 In addition, a rendered set of man pages are available in the same
101 location specified above. Start with C++Intro(3).
