34  The GNU C++ library sources have been specially formatted so that
35  with the proper invocation of another tool (Doxygen), a set of
36  indexed reference material can generated from the sources files
37  themselves. The resultant documentation is referred to as the API
38  documentation, and is useful for examining the signatures of public
39  member functions for the library classes, finding out what is in a
40  particular include file, looking at inheritance diagrams, etc.

88  The rendered HTML, as above, is also available for download on the
89  gcc.org site in a directory located at
90   <literal>&lt;URL:ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/libstdc++/doxygen/&gt;</literal>.
91   You will almost certainly need to use one of the
92   <ulink url="http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html">mirror sites</ulink> to download
93   the tarball. After unpacking, simply load libstdc++-html-*/index.html
94   into a browser.
