+.TH C++Intro 3 "20 May 2004" "GNU libstdc++" "Standard C++ Library"
+.SH NAME
+C++Intro \- Introduction to the GNU libstdc++ man pages
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This man page serves as a brief introduction to the GNU implementation of
+the Standard C++ Library. For a better introduction and more complete
+documentation, see the
+.B libstdc++
+homepage listed at the end.
+.P
+All standard library entities are declared within
+.I namespace std
+and have manual entries beginning with "std::". For example, to see
+documentation of the template class
+.I std::vector
+one would use "man std::vector". Some entities do not have a separate man
+page; for those see the main listing in "man Namespace_std".
+.P
+All the man pages are automatically generated by Doxygen. For more
+information on this tool, see the HTML counterpart to these man pages.
+.P
+Some man pages do not correspond to individual classes or functions. Rather
+they describe categories of the Standard Library. (For a more thorough
+introduction to the various categories, consult a text such as Josuttis'
+or Austern's.) These category pages are:
+.P
+.\" These are separated by ONE TAB. Nothing else. I don't like it either.

+C++Intro This page.
+Namespace_std A listing of the contents of std::.
+Namespace___gnu_cxx A listing of the contents of __gnu_cxx::.
+Containers An introduction to container classes.

+Comparison_functors Functors wrapping built-in comparisons.
+Func_ptr_functors Functors for use with pointers to functions.
+Logical_functors Functors wrapping the Boolean operations.

+.SS Backwards-Compatibility Headers
+For GCC 3.0 these headers will be found automatically, unless you instruct
+the compiler otherwise. You should not depend on this, instead you should
+read FAQ 5.4 and use a

+.SS Extension Headers
+These headers will only be found automatically if you include the leading

+in the name. Otherwise you need to read FAQ 5.4.
+.\" Easy way to generate these columns of headers is to use GNU ls(1):
+.\" ls -w 40 file1 file2... | sed 's=[a-z_][a-z_]*=<ext/&>=g'

+.SS Libraries
+.TP
+.I libstdc++.a
+The library implementation in static archive form. If you did not configure
+libstdc++ to use shared libraries, this will always be used. Otherwise
+it will only be used if the user requests it.
+.TP
+.I libsupc++.a
+This library contains C++ language support routines. Usually you will never
+need to know about it, but it can be useful. See FAQ 2.5.
+.TP
+.I libstdc++.so[.N]
+The library implementation in shared object form. This will be used in
+preference to the static archive form by default. N will be a number equal
+to or greater than 3. If N is in the 2.x series, then you are looking at
+the old libstdc++-v2 library, which we do not maintain.
+.TP
+.I libstdc++.la
+.TP
+.I libsupc++.la
+These are Libtool library files, and should only be used when working with
+that tool.
