* @section eina_main_intro Introduction
*
* The Eina library is a library which implements an API for data types
* in an efficient way. It also provides some useful tools like
* opening shared libraries, error management, type conversion,
* time accounting and memory pools.
*
* This library is cross-platform and can be compiled and used on
* Linux, BSD, and Windows.
*
* The data types available are (see @ref Eina_Data_Types_Group):
* @li @ref Eina_Fp_Group standard floating point numbers.
* @li @ref Eina_Inline_Array_Group standard array of inlined members.
* @li @ref Eina_Array_Group standard array of @c void* data.
* @li @ref Eina_Hash_Group standard hash of @c void* data.
* @li @ref Eina_Inline_List_Group list with nodes inlined into user type.
* @li @ref Eina_CList_Group Compact List.
* @li @ref Eina_List_Group standard list of @c void* data.
* @li @ref Eina_Iterator_Group Iterator functions.
* @li @ref Eina_Matrixsparse_Group sparse matrix of @c void* data.
* @li @ref Eina_Rbtree_Group red-black tree with nodes inlined into user type.
* @li @ref Eina_String_Buffer_Group mutable string to prepend, insert or append strings to a buffer.
* @li @ref Eina_Stringshare_Group saves memory by sharing read-only string references.
* @li @ref Eina_Tiler_Group split, merge and navigates into 2D tiled regions.
* @li @ref Eina_Trash_Group container of unused but allocated data.
* @li @ref Eina_Value_Group container for generic value storage and access.
*
* The tools available are (see @ref Eina_Tools_Group):
* @li @ref Eina_Benchmark_Group helper to write benchmarks.
* @li @ref Eina_Convert_Group faster conversion from strings to integers, double, etc.
* @li @ref Eina_Counter_Group measures number of calls and their time.
* @li @ref Eina_Cpu_Group Cpu and architecture related helpers.
* @li @ref Eina_Error_Group error identifiers.
* @li @ref Eina_File_Group simple file list and path split.
* @li @ref Eina_Lalloc_Group simple lazy allocator.
* @li @ref Eina_Log_Group full-featured logging system.
* @li @ref Eina_Magic_Group provides runtime type checking.
* @li @ref Eina_Memory_Pool_Group abstraction for various memory allocators.
* @li @ref Eina_Module_Group lists, loads and share modules using Eina_Module standard.
* @li @ref Eina_Rectangle_Group rectangle structure and standard manipulation methods.
* @li @ref Eina_Safety_Checks_Group extra checks that will report unexpected conditions and can be disabled at compile time.
* @li @ref Eina_String_Group a set of functions that manages C strings.
*
* @section eina_main_compiling How to compile
*
* Eina is a library to which your app can link. The procedure for this is
* very simple. You simply have to compile your application with the
* appropriate compiler flags as outputted by the @c pkg-config script. For
* example:
*
* Compiling C or C++ files into object files:
*
* @verbatim
gcc -c -o main.o main.c `pkg-config --cflags eina`
@endverbatim
*
* Linking object files into a binary executable:
*
* @verbatim
gcc -o my_application main.o `pkg-config --libs eina`
@endverbatim
*
* See @ref pkgconfig
*
* @section eina_main_next_steps Next Steps
*
* After you've understood what Eina is and installed it,
* you can now learn more about the the programming interface.
*
* Recommended reading:
*
* @li @ref Eina_Data_Types_Group to find about implemented types and
* how to use them.
* @li @ref Eina_Tools_Group to find about helper tools provided by eina.

* @defgroup Eina_Content_Access_Group Content Access
* @brief Eina provides a uniform way to access elements of a container,
* either sequential or indexed.
* @ingroup Eina_Data_Types_Group
*
* @defgroup Eina_Containers_Group Containers
* @brief Data types that contains other types. Examples: list, array and hash.
* @ingroup Eina_Data_Types_Group
*
* @section eina_main_Intro Introduction
* Containers are data types that hold data and allow iteration over
* their elements with an @ref Eina_Iterator_Group, or eventually an
* @ref Eina_Accessor_Group.
*
* The containers in eina are designed with performance in mind, one consequence
* of this is that they @b don't check the validity of data structures given to
* them(@ref Eina_Magic_Group).
*
* @section eina_main_Choice Choosing container type
*
* The choice of which container to use in each situation is very important in
* achieving good performance and readable code. The most common container types
* used are:
* @li List
* @li Inline list
* @li Array
* @li Inline array
* @li Hash
*
* All types have pros and cons. The following considerations are good
* starting point in deciding which container to use:
* @li Hashes are appropriate for datasets which will be searched often.
* @li Arrays are good when accessing members by position;
* @li Lists provide good versatility for adding elements in any position with
* minimal overhead.
* @li Inline arrays use very little memory and don't cause fragmentation so
* are a good option in memory constrained systems.
* @li Inline lists are the best type to use when list flexibility is
* required but no pointer indirection overhead can be allowed.
* @warning These are general considerations. Every situation is different.
* Don't follow these recommendations blindly.
*
* @section eina_main_Creation Creating custom container types
*
* @note Before creating a custom container check if any of the existing ones
* suit your needs. For example, while there is no stack type @ref
* Eina_Array_Group is a very good substitute. Similarly there is no queue type
* however an @ref Eina_List_Group works very well as a queue.
*
* If creating a custom container type, consider allowing access to the data in
* your container through @ref Eina_Iterator_Group "Iterators" and @ref
* Eina_Accessor_Group "Accessors". To do so your container should have an
* iterator creation function and an accessor creation function. These functions
* should return properly populated @ref _Eina_Iterator and @ref _Eina_Accessor.
*
* @defgroup Eina_Tools_Group Tools
* @ingroup Eina
* @brief Eina tools aims to help application development, providing ways to
* make it safer, log errors, manage memory more efficiently and more.
