55 <h1 class="epydoc"> API Documentation </h1>
57 <p> This document contains the API (Application Programming Interface)
58 documentation for LLDB python API. Documentation for the Python
59 objects defined by the project is divided into separate pages for each
60 package, module, and class. The API documentation also includes two
61 pages containing information about the project as a whole: a trees
62 page, and an index page. </p>
64 <h2> Object Documentation </h2>
66 <p>Each <strong>Package Documentation</strong> page contains: </p>
68 <li> A description of the package. </li>
69 <li> A list of the modules and sub-packages contained by the
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
76 <li> A detailed description of each variable defined by the
80 <p>Each <strong>Module Documentation</strong> page contains:</p>
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
88 <li> A detailed description of each variable defined by the
92 <p>Each <strong>Class Documentation</strong> page contains: </p>
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
101 <li> A detailed description of each method defined by the
103 <li> A detailed description of each instance variable defined by the
105 <li> A detailed description of each class (static) variable defined
109 <h2> Project Documentation </h2>
111 <p> The <strong>Trees</strong> page contains the module and class hierarchies: </p>
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>
122 <p> The <strong>Index</strong> page contains indices of terms and
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>
134 <h2> The Table of Contents </h2>
136 <p> The table of contents occupies the two frames on the left side of
137 the window. The upper-left frame displays the <em>project
138 contents</em>, and the lower-left frame displays the <em>module
141 <table class="help summary" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">

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

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