aRts - documentation

We're currently in progress of "cleaning up" the aRts documentation and making everything consistent. So for the moment, you'll have to live with the following five sources of documentation:

  • The new "Handbook" - is the new documentation, which will eventually describe everything relevant, and link all other sources. It's the best choice to read this first if you are a new user.
  • MCOP technical documentation - contains mainly technical documentation about aRts/MCOP, design, protocol specifications, how to develop, and so on.
  • IDL Reference - generated documentation from the IDL headers (that is, .idl files). This is currently a bit unfinished, but contains a good overview over the IDL based API, and is improving constantly.
  • Header Reference - generated documentation from the C++ headers (aka .h files). This is currently quite unfinished, but gives an impression of the C++ API, and internal structure of aRts.
  • This document - describes aRts-0.3.4.1, in a mostly finished way. As aRts-0.3.4.1 is very outdated, you should only use this to get an idea where things are going (or where coming from), or if you want to improve the other documentation. Otherwise, choose one of the things above.

You shouldn't read things below this line ;)

For the reasons given above, you shouldn't read things below this line. This documentation is outdated below this point.
