= ANARI(R)^ API Documentation Project
This repository contains sources for the formal documentation of the ANARI API. This includes:
[options="compact"]
The authoritative public repository is located at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/ANARI-Docs/. It hosts a public Issue tracker, and outside developers can file proposed patches (Pull Requests) against the Specification, subject to approval by Khronos.
The generated ANARI specification can be found in the repository located at https://github.com/KhronosGroup/ANARI-Registry.
== Branch Structure
The current Specification is maintained in the main
branch of the
repository.
From this branch it is possible to generate Specifications for any published
version of ANARI (currently 1.0), and incorporating any desired set of
extensions.
== Directory Structure
The directory structure is as follows:
README.adoc This file
BUILD.adoc Documents how to build the specifications, and man pages
COPYING.md Copyright and licensing information
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md Code of Conduct
ChangeLog.txt Change log summary for each public spec update
Makefile, make* Makefile and helper build scripts (see BUILD.adoc)
appendices/ Specification appendices
chapters/ Specification chapters
config/ Asciidoctor configuration, CSS, and index generator
images/ Images (figures, diagrams, icons)
man/ Reference (man) pages for the API; mostly extracted from the spec source
out/ Default directory for the generated documents
scripts/ Helper scripts used in specification, header, and reference page generation
style/ Sources for "styleguide" (ANARI Documentation and Extensions: Procedures and Conventions)
== Building the Specification and Reference Pages
The document sources are marked up in Asciidoctor format, and we use
asciidoctor
and related toolchain components to generate output documents.
See link:BUILD.adoc[BUILD.adoc] for more information on installing the
toolchain and building the Specification.
== Generating Headers and Related Files
See link:xml/README.adoc[xml/README.adoc].
The header files (include/anari/anari*.h
) and many parts of the
specification and reference page documents are generated from descriptions
in the XML API Registry (xml/an.xml
).
The generated files are not checked into the repository.
If you change an.xml
, you can regenerate the headers by going into
xml/
and running:
$ make clean install
The other generated files are built as required via dependencies in
the top-level Makefile
.
