@section main_intro Introduction
GLFW is a free, Open Source, multi-platform library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and
Vulkan application development. It provides a simple, platform-independent API
for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, reading input, handling events, etc.

@ref quick is a guide for those new to GLFW. It takes you through how to write
a small but complete program. For people coming from GLFW 2, the @ref moving
guide explains what has changed and how to update existing code to use the new
API.

Once you have written a program, see the @ref compile and @ref build guides.
2014-09-18 13:03:29 +00:00
The [reference documentation](modules.html) provides more detailed information
about specific functions.
2015-01-18 00:55:25 +00:00
There is a section on @ref guarantees_limitations for pointer lifetimes,
reentrancy, thread safety, event order and backward and forward compatibility.
The @ref vulkan guide fills in the gaps for how to use Vulkan with GLFW.
2015-01-18 00:55:25 +00:00
The @ref rift fills in the gaps for how to use LibOVR with GLFW.
The [FAQ](http://www.glfw.org/faq.html) answers many common questions about the
design, implementation and use of GLFW.

Finally, the @ref compat guide explains what APIs, standards and protocols GLFW
uses and what happens when they are not present on a given machine.
This documentation was generated with Doxygen. The sources for it are available
