1This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and
2Instrumentation Library.
3
4It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing
5ABI-relevant artifacts.
6
7The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like
8types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or
9program.  For a given library or program this set of quantities is
10called an ABI corpus.
11
12This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare
13two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh,
14that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences,
15and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these
16differences.
