KDevelop API Documentation

The KDevelop API Documentation

Version 3.0.4

KDevelop is an easy to use IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for developing applications under X11.

Introduction

This document is targeted at all those that want to add or improve KDevelop's source code. If you are instead looking for a user manual, just go to the help menu of your KDevelop and select KDevelop handbook. This documentation contains the KDevelop online class reference for the current development version of KDevelop. Additionally, you can subscribe or read the mailing list for any additions and/or modifications to the API.

An on-line, updated every 24H, html version of this documentation can be found at: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/library/cvs-api/kdevelop/html/index.html

More information about the KDevelop architecture in form of tutorials, HOWTOs, and FAQs can be found at the KDevelop website.

The advantage of the first method is that you'll get a search engine in your documentation if you read your documentation using your local webserver.
