EFL Documentation

The Enlightenment Project covers more than simple window management. Whether you're a user, developer, or just someone looking for some good bathroom material, if you are in need of answers, you should find something of interest here.

There is also a wiki available (please note that some pages still reside in the old wiki, but it is old and out of date).

API documentation for both the latest release and the current development version(auto-generated daily from SVN source) for EFL libraries is on the right.

Enlightenment Foundation Libraries (EFL)

In addition to API documents, there are wiki pages that are community maintained and editable, that cover an overview of what EFL is about as well as specific pages per library.

Enlightenment DR16 Documentation

There is ample documentation available from Enlightenment itself. eDox is DR16's "built in" documentation and tutorial system. This system was removed from the main distribution with the release of DR16.7 in order to shrink the size of the distribution and applications installed disk usage. If you are new to Enlightenment, please download and install the enlightenment-docs package (aka: eDox).
