Apache C++ Standard Library Reference Guide

## 1.1 Contents of Entries

This reference guide is an alphabetical listing of the header files, classes, containers, algorithms, iterators, and other constructs of the Apache C++ Standard Library Module. The entry for each class includes:

- An illustration showing the inheritance hierarchy, or the general category to which the class belongs

- A brief summary of the class functionality

- A synopsis indicating the header file(s) associated with the class

- A description of the class

- The C++ code that describes the class interface

- All methods associated with the class, including constructors, operators, member functions, and so on. These are grouped together and listed alphabetically within each group. These groups are not a part of the C++ language, but they are a useful way to organize information.

- Examples and warnings

Entries that are not classes include other appropriate categories of information. In general, there is still a brief summary of the entry's functionality, followed by a more detailed description, and in many cases an example.
