Introduction</h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>See <a class="el" href="news.html#news_32">New features in 3.2</a> for release highlights or the <a href="http://www.glfw.org/changelog.html">version history</a> for details.</p>
<p><a class="el" href="quick_guide.html">Getting started</a> is a guide for users new to GLFW. It takes you through how to write a small but complete program.</p>
<p>There are guides for each section of the API:</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="el" href="intro_guide.html">Introduction to the API</a> – initialization, error handling and high-level design</li>
<li><a class="el" href="window_guide.html">Window guide</a> – creating and working with windows and framebuffers</li>
<li><a class="el" href="context_guide.html">Context guide</a> – working with OpenGL and OpenGL ES contexts</li>
<li><a class="el" href="vulkan_guide.html">Vulkan guide</a> - working with Vulkan objects and extensions</li>
<li><a class="el" href="monitor_guide.html">Monitor guide</a> – enumerating and working with monitors and video modes</li>
<li><a class="el" href="input_guide.html">Input guide</a> – receiving events, polling and processing input</li>
</ul>
<p>Once you have written a program, see <a class="el" href="compile_guide.html">Compiling GLFW</a> and <a class="el" href="build_guide.html">Building applications</a>.</p>
<p>The <a href="modules.html">reference documentation</a> provides more detailed information about specific functions.</p>
<p><a class="el" href="moving_guide.html">Moving from GLFW 2 to 3</a> explains what has changed and how to update existing code to use the new API.</p>
<p>There is a section on <a class="el" href="intro_guide.html#guarantees_limitations">Guarantees and limitations</a> for pointer lifetimes, reentrancy, thread safety, event order and backward and forward compatibility.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.glfw.org/faq.html">FAQ</a> answers many common questions about the design, implementation and use of GLFW.</p>
<p>Finally, <a class="el" href="compat_guide.html">Standards conformance</a> explains what APIs, standards and protocols GLFW uses and what happens when they are not present on a given machine.</p>
<p>This documentation was generated with Doxygen. The sources for it are available in both the <a href="http://www.glfw.org/download.html">source distribution</a> and <a href="https://github.com/glfw/glfw">GitHub repository</a>. </p>
