* The Eina library is a library that implemente an API for data types
* in an efficient way. It also provides some useful tools like

- * @subsection eina_array Array
+ * @subsection eina_container_subsec Containers
*
- * @subsection eina_hash Hash Table
+ * Containers are data types that hold data and allow iteration over
+ * their elements with an @ref eina_iterators, or eventually an
+ * @ref eina_accessors. The only data type that is not a container (in
+ * that sense) is the @ref eina_stringshare.

+ * For the above data types, you can access to the elements

+ * allow a genenric way to traverse these data types.
+ *
+ * @subsection eina_iterators_subsec Iterator
+ *
+ * Iterators allow to access the data of a container in a sequential
+ * way. They can only access the next element. To look at the API, go

+ * @brief These functions manage iterators on containers.
+ *
+ * These functions allow to iterate over a container in a generic way,
+ * without knowing which container is used (a bit like iterators in
+ * the C++ STL). Iterators only allows sequential iteration (that is,
+ * from an element to the next one). For random iteration, see
+ * @ref Eina_Accessors.
+ *
+ * An iterator is created from container data types, so no creation
+ * function is available here. An iterator is deleted with
+ * eina_iterator_free(). To get the data and iterate, use
+ * eina_iterator_next(). To call a function on all the elements of a
+ * container, use eina_iterator_foreach().
