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

28 The project was started with a D-Bus performance review
29 the results of which are available on the GNOME wiki. Keep in
30 mind that the D-Bus AT-SPI design documents on this page
31 have not been kept up to date.

42 Contents of this package
43 ------------------------
45 This package includes the protocol definitions for the new D-Bus
48 Also included is the daemon necessary for forwarding device events
49 and registering accessible applicaitions.
55 The directories within this package are arranged as follows:
59 This directory contains XML documents describing
60 the D-Bus protocol in the format used for D-Bus introspection.
64 The D-Bus specification in an idl-like format. This is likely not
65 parseable by any existing tools, is not entirely up-to-date, and may
66 by removed in a future release.
70 The registry daemon code. The registry daemon
71 keeps a register of accessible applications and presents
72 this to clients (ATs).
73 It is also responsible for delivering device events.
77 Library to ease making D-Bus method calls, contains
78 marshalling code to convert function arguments
79 and a provided D-Bus signature into a D-Bus message.
85 C library for use by ATs. Wraps the various D-Bus calls, provides
86 an interface for listening to events, and caches some information about
87 accessible objects. Also contains some functions used by at-spi2-atk.
91 A server that sits on the session bus and provides an interface
92 allowing applications to find the accessibility bus daemon, launching
93 it as needed. The accessibility bus is separate from the session bus
94 because it may in fact span user sessions if a user, for instance,
95 runs an application that escalates to run as root. The accessibility
96 bus is thus tied to the X session rather than the D-Bus session.
100 Contains infrastructure for creating libatspi documentation.
104 Contains files that may be useful for testing AT-SPI.
108 Some macros used for building the module.
112 Infrastructure used for translation.
