55<h1 class="epydoc"> API Documentation </h1>
56
57<p> This document contains the API (Application Programming Interface)
58documentation for LLDB python API.  Documentation for the Python
59objects defined by the project is divided into separate pages for each
60package, module, and class.  The API documentation also includes two
61pages containing information about the project as a whole: a trees
62page, and an index page.  </p>
63
64<h2> Object Documentation </h2>
65
66  <p>Each <strong>Package Documentation</strong> page contains: </p>
67  <ul>
68    <li> A description of the package. </li>
69    <li> A list of the modules and sub-packages contained by the
70    package.  </li>
71    <li> A summary of the classes defined by the package. </li>
72    <li> A summary of the functions defined by the package. </li>
73    <li> A summary of the variables defined by the package. </li>
74    <li> A detailed description of each function defined by the
75    package. </li>
76    <li> A detailed description of each variable defined by the
77    package. </li>
78  </ul>
79  
80  <p>Each <strong>Module Documentation</strong> page contains:</p>
81  <ul>
82    <li> A description of the module. </li>
83    <li> A summary of the classes defined by the module. </li>
84    <li> A summary of the functions defined by the module. </li>
85    <li> A summary of the variables defined by the module. </li>
86    <li> A detailed description of each function defined by the
87    module. </li>
88    <li> A detailed description of each variable defined by the
89    module. </li>
90  </ul>
91  
92  <p>Each <strong>Class Documentation</strong> page contains: </p>
93  <ul>
94    <li> A class inheritance diagram. </li>
95    <li> A list of known subclasses. </li>
96    <li> A description of the class. </li>
97    <li> A summary of the methods defined by the class. </li>
98    <li> A summary of the instance variables defined by the class. </li>
99    <li> A summary of the class (static) variables defined by the
100    class. </li> 
101    <li> A detailed description of each method defined by the
102    class. </li>
103    <li> A detailed description of each instance variable defined by the
104    class. </li> 
105    <li> A detailed description of each class (static) variable defined
106    by the class. </li> 
107  </ul>
108
109<h2> Project Documentation </h2>
110
111  <p> The <strong>Trees</strong> page contains the module and class hierarchies: </p>
112  <ul>
113    <li> The <em>module hierarchy</em> lists every package and module, with
114    modules grouped into packages.  At the top level, and within each
115    package, modules and sub-packages are listed alphabetically. </li>
116    <li> The <em>class hierarchy</em> lists every class, grouped by base
117    class.  If a class has more than one base class, then it will be
118    listed under each base class.  At the top level, and under each base
119    class, classes are listed alphabetically. </li>
120  </ul>
121  
122  <p> The <strong>Index</strong> page contains indices of terms and
123  identifiers: </p>
124  <ul>
125    <li> The <em>term index</em> lists every term indexed by any object's
126    documentation.  For each term, the index provides links to each
127    place where the term is indexed. </li>
128    <li> The <em>identifier index</em> lists the (short) name of every package,
129    module, class, method, function, variable, and parameter.  For each
130    identifier, the index provides a short description, and a link to
131    its documentation. </li>
132  </ul>
133
134<h2> The Table of Contents </h2>
135
136<p> The table of contents occupies the two frames on the left side of
137the window.  The upper-left frame displays the <em>project
138contents</em>, and the lower-left frame displays the <em>module
139contents</em>: </p>
140
141<table class="help summary" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">

154</table><br />
155
156<p> The <strong>project contents frame</strong> contains a list of all packages
157and modules that are defined by the project.  Clicking on an entry
158will display its contents in the module contents frame.  Clicking on a
159special entry, labeled "Everything," will display the contents of
160the entire project. </p>
161
162<p> The <strong>module contents frame</strong> contains a list of every
163submodule, class, type, exception, function, and variable defined by a
164module or package.  Clicking on an entry will display its
165documentation in the API documentation frame.  Clicking on the name of
166the module, at the top of the frame, will display the documentation
167for the module itself. </p>
168
169<p> The "<strong>frames</strong>" and "<strong>no frames</strong>" buttons below the top
170navigation bar can be used to control whether the table of contents is
171displayed or not. </p>
172
173<h2> The Navigation Bar </h2>
174
175<p> A navigation bar is located at the top and bottom of every page.
176It indicates what type of page you are currently viewing, and allows
177you to go to related pages.  The following table describes the labels
178on the navigation bar.  Note that not some labels (such as
179[Parent]) are not displayed on all pages. </p>
180
181<table class="summary" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3" width="100%">

211
212<p> The "<strong>show private</strong>" and "<strong>hide private</strong>" buttons below
213the top navigation bar can be used to control whether documentation
214for private objects is displayed.  Private objects are usually defined
215as objects whose (short) names begin with a single underscore, but do
216not end with an underscore.  For example, "<code>_x</code>",
217"<code>__pprint</code>", and "<code>epydoc.epytext._tokenize</code>"
218are private objects; but "<code>re.sub</code>",
219"<code>__init__</code>", and "<code>type_</code>" are not.  However,
220if a module defines the "<code>__all__</code>" variable, then its
221contents are used to decide which objects are private. </p>
222
223<p> A timestamp below the bottom navigation bar indicates when each
224page was last updated. </p>
