@section main_intro Introduction
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.

The [reference documentation](modules.html) provides more detailed information
about specific functions.

@ref moving_guide explains what has changed and how to update existing code to
use the new API.
2015-01-17 19:55:25 -05:00
There is a section on @ref guarantees_limitations for pointer lifetimes,
reentrancy, thread safety, event order and backward and forward compatibility.
