-
- \section intro Introduction
-
- \e libcaca is a graphics library that outputs text instead of pixels,
- so that it can work on older video cards or text terminals. It is not
- unlike the famous AAlib library. \e libcaca can use almost any virtual
- terminal to work, thus it should work on all Unix systems (including
- Mac OS X) using either the slang library or the ncurses library, on DOS
- using the conio library, and on Windows systems using either slang or
- ncurses (through Cygwin emulation) or conio. There is also a native X11
- driver, and an OpenGL driver (through freeglut) that does not require a
- text terminal. For machines without a screen, the raw driver can be used
- to send the output to another machine, using for instance cacaserver.
-
- \e libcaca is free software, released under the Do What The Fuck You
- Want To Public License. This ensures that no one, not even the \e libcaca
- developers, will ever have anything to say about what you do with the
- software. It used to be licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
- License, but that was not free enough.
-
- \section devel Developer's documentation
-
- \e libcaca relies on a low-level, device independent library, called
- \e libcucul. \e libcucul can be used alone as a simple ASCII and/or
- Unicode compositing canvas.
-
- The complete \e libcucul and \e libcaca programming interface is
- available from the cucul.h and caca.h headers.
-
