D-Bus AT-SPI
------------
-This version of at-spi is a major break from previous versions.
+This version of at-spi is a major break from version 1.x.
It has been completely rewritten to use D-Bus rather than
ORBIT / CORBA for its transport protocol.

More information
----------------
This package includes the protocol definitions for the new D-Bus
at-spi.
-Also included is the daemon neccessary for forwarding device events
-and registering accessible applicaitons.

Directory structure
xml
This directory contains XML documents describing
- the D-Bus protocol in a subset of Telepathy XML.
+ the D-Bus protocol in the format used for D-Bus introspection.
- tools
+ idl
- Miscellaneous tools. Mostly for converting protocol
- XML into D-Bus introspection, 'C' types and documentation.
+ The D-Bus specification in an idl-like format. This is likely not
+ parseable by any existing tools, is not entirely up-to-date, and may
+ by removed in a future release.
registryd
keeps a register of accessible applications and presents
this to clients (ATs).
It is also responsible for delivering device events.
+
+ dbind
+
+ Library to ease making D-Bus method calls, contains
+ marshalling code to convert function arguments
+ and a provided D-Bus signature into a D-Bus message.
+
+ Used by libatspi.
+
+ atspi
+
+ C library for use by ATs. Wraps the various D-Bus calls, provides
+ an interface for listening to events, and caches some information about
+ accessible objects. Also contains some functions used by at-spi2-atk.
+
+ bus
+
+ A server that sits on the session bus and provides an interface
+ allowing applications to find the accessibility bus daemon, launching
+ it as needed. The accessibility bus is separate from the session bus
+ because it may in fact span user sessions if a user, for instance,
+ runs an application that escalates to run as root. The accessibility
+ bus is thus tied to the X session rather than the D-Bus session.
+
+ doc
+
+ Contains infrastructure for creating libatspi documentation.
+
+ test
+
+ Contains files that may be useful for testing AT-SPI.
+
+ m4
+
+ Some macros used for building the module.
+
+ po
+
+ Infrastructure used for translation.
