+ - @ref window
+ - @ref context
+ - @ref monitor
+
+GLFW provides many kinds of input.  While some can only be polled, like time, or
+only received via callbacks, like scrolling, there are those that provide both
+callbacks and polling.  Where a callback is provided, that is the recommended
+way to receive that kind of input.  The more you can use callbacks the less time
+your users' machines will need to spend polling.
+
+All input callbacks receive a window handle.  By using the
+[window user pointer](@ref window_userptr), you can access non-global structures
+or objects from your callbacks.
+
+To get a better feel for how the various events callbacks behave, run the
+`events` test program.  It register every callback supported by GLFW and prints
+out all arguments provided for every event, along with time and sequence
+information.
+
+
+@section input_event Event processing
+
+GLFW needs to communicate regularly with the window system both in order to
+receive events and to show that the application hasn't locked up.  Event
+processing must be done regularly while you have visible windows and is normally
+done each frame after [buffer swapping](@ref window_swap).
+
+There are two functions for processing pending events.  @ref glfwPollEvents,
+processes only those events that have already been received and then returns
+immediately.
+
+@code
+glfwPollEvents();
+@endcode
+
+This is the best choice when rendering continually, like most games do.
+
+If you only need to update the contents of the window when you receive new
+input, @ref glfwWaitEvents is a better choice.
+
+@code
+glfwWaitEvents();
+@endcode
+
+It puts the thread to sleep until at least one event has been received and then
+processes all received events.  This saves a great deal of CPU cycles and is
+useful for, for example, editing tools.  There must be at least one GLFW window
+for this function to sleep.
+
+If the main thread is sleeping in @ref glfwWaitEvents, you can wake it from
+another thread by posting an empty event to the event queue with @ref
+glfwPostEmptyEvent.
+
+@code
+glfwPostEmptyEvent();
+@endcode
+
+Do not assume that callbacks will *only* be called through either of the above
+functions.  While it is necessary to process events in the event queue, some
+window systems will send some events directly to the application, which in turn
+causes callbacks to be called outside of regular event processing.
+
+
+@section input_keyboard Keyboard input
+
+GLFW divides keyboard input into two categories; key events and character
+events.  Key events relate to actual physical keyboard keys, whereas character
+events relate to the Unicode code points generated by pressing some of them.
+
+Keys and characters do not map 1:1.  A single key press may produce several
+characters, and a single character may require several keys to produce.  This
+may not be the case on your machine, but your users are likely not all using the
+same keyboard layout, input method or even operating system as you.
+
+
+@subsection input_key Key input
+
+If you wish to be notified when a physical key is pressed or released or when it
+repeats, set a key callback with @ref glfwSetKeyCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetKeyCallback(window, key_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives the [keyboard key](@ref keys), platform-specific
+scancode, key action and [modifier bits](@ref mods).
+
+@code
+void key_callback(GLFWwindow* window, int key, int scancode, int action, int mods)
+{
+    if (key == GLFW_KEY_E && action == GLFW_PRESS)
+        activate_airship();
+}
+@endcode
+
+The action is one of `GLFW_PRESS`, `GLFW_REPEAT` or `GLFW_RELEASE`.  The key
+will be `GLFW_KEY_UNKNOWN` if GLFW lacks a key token for it.  These keys still
+have unique, if platform-specific scancodes.
+
+The scancode is unique for every key but is platform-specific, so a scancode
+will map to different keys on different platforms.
+
+The key will be `GLFW_KEY_UNKNOWN` for special keys like *E-mail* or *Play* that
+don't have a key token.  Those keys will still have unique, if platform-specific
+scancodes.
+
+Key states for [named keys](@ref keys) are also saved in per-window state arrays
+that can be polled with @ref glfwGetKey.
+
+@code
+int state = glfwGetKey(window, GLFW_KEY_E);
+if (state == GLFW_PRESS)
+    activate_airship();
+@endcode
+
+The returned state is one of `GLFW_PRESS` or `GLFW_RELEASE`.
+
+This function only returns cached key event state.  It does not poll the
+system for the current state of the key.
+
+Whenever you poll state, you risk missing the state change you are looking for.
+If a pressed key is released again before you poll its state, you will have
+missed the key press.  The recommended solution for this is to use a
+key callback, but there is also the `GLFW_STICKY_KEYS` input mode.
+
+@code
+glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_STICKY_KEYS, 1);
+@endcode
+
+When sticky keys mode is enabled, the pollable state of a key will remain
+`GLFW_PRESS` until the state of that key is polled with @ref glfwGetKey.  Once
+it has been polled, if a key release event had been processed in the meantime,
+the state will reset to `GLFW_RELEASE`, otherwise it will remain `GLFW_PRESS`.
+
+The `GLFW_KEY_LAST` constant holds the highest value of any
+[named key](@ref keys).
+
+
+@subsection input_char Unicode character input
+
+If you wish to receive Unicode code point input, set a character callback with
+@ref glfwSetCharCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetCharCallback(window, character_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives Unicode code points for key events that would
+have led to regular text input on that platform.
+
+@code
+void character_callback(GLFWwindow* window, unsigned int codepoint)
+{
+}
+@endcode
+
+If you wish to receive all Unicode code point events generated by the system, or
+just want to know exactly what modifier keys were used, set a character with
+modifiers callback with @ref glfwSetCharModsCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetCharCallback(window, charmods_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives Unicode code points and
+[modifier bits](@ref mods).
+
+@code
+void charmods_callback(GLFWwindow* window, unsigned int codepoint, int mods)
+{
+}
+@endcode
+
 
 @section input_mouse Mouse input
 
+Mouse input comes in many forms, including of mouse motion and button presses,
+system cursor appearance and behavior, and two-dimensional scrolling.  All of
+these are supported by GLFW.
+
+
+@subsection input_cursor_pos Cursor position
+
+If you wish to be notified when the system cursor moves over the window, set
+a cursor position callback with @ref glfwSetCursorPosCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetCursorPosCallback(window, cursor_pos_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback functions receives the cursor position.  On platforms that provide
+it, the full sub-pixel cursor position is passed on.
+
+@code
+static void cursor_position_callback(GLFWwindow* window, double xpos, double ypos)
+{
+}
+@endcode
+
+The cursor position is also saved per-window and can be polled with @ref
+glfwGetCursorPos.
+
+@code
+double xpos, ypos;
+glfwGetCursorPos(window, &xpos, &ypos);
+@endcode
+
+This function only returns cached cursor positions.  It does not poll the
+system for the current position.  Whenever you poll state, you risk missing the
+state change you are looking for.
+
+
+@subsection input_cursor_mode Cursor modes
+
+The `GLFW_CURSOR` input mode provides several cursor modes for special forms of
+mouse motion input.  By default, the `GLFW_CURSOR_NORMAL` cursor mode is used,
+meaning the regular arrow cursor or a [custom cursor](@ref input_cursor) is used
+and cursor motion is not limited.
+
+If you wish to implement mouse motion based camera controls or other input
+schemes that require unlimited mouse movement, set the cursor mode to
+`GLFW_CURSOR_DISABLED`.
+
+@code
+glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_CURSOR, GLFW_CURSOR_DISABLED);
+@endcode
+
+This will hide the cursor and lock it to the specified window.  GLFW will then
+take care of all the details of cursor re-centering and offset calculation and
+providing the application with a virtual cursor position.  This virtual position
+is provided normally, both via the cursor position callback and via position
+polling.
+
+@note You should not implement your own version of this functionality using
+other features of GLFW.  It will not work as robustly as `GLFW_CURSOR_DISABLED`,
+as those features are not intended for this purpose.
+
+If you just wish the cursor to become hidden when it is over a window, set
+the cursor mode to `GLFW_CURSOR_HIDDEN`.
+
+@code
+glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_CURSOR, GLFW_CURSOR_HIDDEN);
+@endcode
+
+This mode puts no limit on the motion of the cursor.
+
+To exit out of either of these special modes, restore the `GLFW_CURSOR_NORMAL`
+cursor mode.
+
+@code
+glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_CURSOR, GLFW_CURSOR_NORMAL);
+@endcode
+
+
+@subsection input_cursor Cursor objects
+
+GLFW supports creating custom system cursor images, encapsulated as @ref
+GLFWcursor objects.  They are created with @ref glfwCreateCursor and destroyed
+with @ref glfwDestroyCursor (or @ref glfwTerminate, if any remain).
+
+
+@subsubsection input_cursor_creation Cursor creation
+
+A cursor is created with @ref glfwCreateCursor, which returns a handle to the
+created cursor object.  For example, this creates a 16x16 white square cursor
+with the hot-spot in the upper-left corner:
+
+@code
+unsigned char pixels[16 * 16 * 4];
+memset(pixels, 0xff, sizeof(pixels));
+
+GLFWimage image;
+image.width = 16;
+image.height = 16;
+image.pixels = pixels;
+
+GLFWcursor* cursor = glfwCreateCursor(&image, 0, 0);
+@endcode
+
+The image data is 32-bit RGBA, i.e. eight bits per channel.  The pixels are
+arranged canonically as sequental rows, starting from the top-left corner.
+
+
+@subsubsection input_cursor_destruction Cursor destruction
+
+When a cursor is no longer needed, destroy it with @ref glfwDestroyCursor.
+
+@code
+glfwDestroyCursor(cursor);
+@endcode
+
+Cursor destruction always succeeds.  All cursors remaining at the time of @ref
+glfwTerminate is called are destroyed as well.
+
+
+@subsubsection input_cursor_set Cursor setting
+
+A cursor can be set as current for a window with @ref glfwSetCursor.
+
+@code
+glfwSetCursor(window, cursor);
+@endcode
+
+Once set, the cursor image will be used as long as the system cursor is over the
+client area of the window and the [cursor mode](@ref input_cursor_mode) is set
+to `GLFW_CURSOR_NORMAL`.
+
+A single cursor may be set for any number of windows.
+
+To remove a cursor from a window, set the cursor of that window to `NULL`.
+
+@code
+glfwSetCursor(window, NULL);
+@endcode
+
+When a cursor is destroyed, it is removed from any window where it is set.  This
+does not affect the cursor modes of those windows.
+
+
+@subsection input_cursor_enter Cursor enter/leave events
+
+If you wish to be notified when the cursor enters or leaves the client area of
+a window, set a cursor enter/leave callback with @ref glfwSetCursorEnterCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetCursorEnterCallback(window, cursor_enter_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives the new classification of the cursor.
+
+@code
+void cursor_enter_callback(GLFWwindow* window, int entered)
+{
+    if (entered)
+    {
+        // The cursor entered the client area of the window
+    }
+    else
+    {
+        // The cursor left the client area of the window
+    }
+}
+@endcode
+
+
+@subsection input_mouse_button Mouse button input
+
+If you wish to be notified when a mouse button is pressed or released, set
+a mouse button callback with @ref glfwSetMouseButtonCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetMouseButtonCallback(window, mouse_button_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives the [mouse button](@ref buttons), button action
+and [modifier bits](@ref mods).
+
+@code
+void mouse_button_callback(GLFWwindow* window, int button, int action, int mods)
+{
+    if (button == GLFW_MOUSE_BUTTON_RIGHT && action == GLFW_PRESS)
+        popup_menu();
+}
+@endcode
+
+The action is one of `GLFW_PRESS` or `GLFW_RELEASE`.
+
+Mouse button states for [named buttons](@ref buttons) are also saved in
+per-window state arrays that can be polled with @ref glfwGetMouseButton.
+
+@code
+int state = glfwGetMouseButton(window, GLFW_MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT);
+if (state == GLFW_PRESS)
+    upgrade_cow();
+@endcode
+
+The returned state is one of `GLFW_PRESS` or `GLFW_RELEASE`.
+
+This function only returns cached mouse button event state.  It does not poll
+the system for the current state of the mouse button.
+
+Whenever you poll state, you risk missing the state change you are looking for.
+If a pressed mouse button is released again before you poll its state, you will have
+missed the button press.  The recommended solution for this is to use a
+mouse button callback, but there is also the `GLFW_STICKY_MOUSE_BUTTONS`
+input mode.
+
+@code
+glfwSetInputMode(window, GLFW_STICKY_MOUSE_BUTTONS, 1);
+@endcode
+
+When sticky mouse buttons mode is enabled, the pollable state of a mouse button
+will remain `GLFW_PRESS` until the state of that button is polled with @ref
+glfwGetMouseButton.  Once it has been polled, if a mouse button release event
+had been processed in the meantime, the state will reset to `GLFW_RELEASE`,
+otherwise it will remain `GLFW_PRESS`.
+
+The `GLFW_MOUSE_BUTTON_LAST` constant holds the highest value of any
+[named button](@ref buttons).
+
+
+@subsection input_scroll Scroll input
+
+If you wish to be notified when the user scrolls, whether with a mouse wheel or
+touchpad gesture, set a scroll callback with @ref glfwSetScrollCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetScrollCallback(window, scroll_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives two-dimensional scroll offsets.
+
+@code
+void scroll_callback(GLFWwindow* window, double xoffset, double yoffset)
+{
+}
+@endcode
+
+A simple mouse wheel, being vertical, provides offsets along the Y-axis.
+
+
 @section input_joy Joystick input
 
+The joystick functions expose connected joysticks and controllers, with both
+referred to as joysticks.  It supports up to sixteen joysticks, ranging from
+`GLFW_JOYSTICK_1`, `GLFW_JOYSTICK_2` up to `GLFW_JOYSTICK_LAST`.  You can test
+whether a [joystick](@ref joysticks) is present with @ref glfwJoystickPresent.
+
+@code
+int present = glfwJoystickPresent(GLFW_JOYSTICK_1);
+@endcode
+
+When GLFW is initialized, detected joysticks are added to to the beginning of
+the array, starting with `GLFW_JOYSTICK_1`.  Once a joystick is detected, it
+keeps its assigned index until it is disconnected, so as joysticks are connected
+and disconnected, they will become spread out.
+
+Joystick state is updated as needed when a joystick function is called and does
+not require a window to be created or @ref glfwPollEvents or @ref glfwWaitEvents
+to be called.
+
+
+@subsection input_joy_axis Joystick axis states
+
+The positions of all axes of a joystick are returned by @ref
+glfwGetJoystickAxes.  See the reference documentation for the lifetime of the
+returned array.
+
+@code
+int count;
+const float* axes = glfwGetJoystickAxes(GLFW_JOYSTICK_1, &count);
+@endcode
+
+Each element in the returned array is a value between -1.0 and 1.0.
+
+
+@subsection input_joy_button Joystick button states
+
+The states of all buttons of a joystick are returned by @ref
+glfwGetJoystickButtons.  See the reference documentation for the lifetime of the
+returned array.
+
+@code
+int count;
+const unsigned char* axes = glfwGetJoystickButtons(GLFW_JOYSTICK_1, &count);
+@endcode
+
+Each element in the returned array is either `GLFW_PRESS` or `GLFW_RELEASE`.
+
+
+@subsection input_joy_name Joystick name
+
+The human-readable, UTF-8 encoded name of a joystick is returned by @ref
+glfwGetJoystickName.  See the reference documentation for the lifetime of the
+returned string.           
+
+@code
+const char* name = glfwGetJoystickName(GLFW_JOYSTICK_1);
+@endcode
+
+Joystick names are not guaranteed to be unique.  Two joysticks of the same model
+and make may have the same name.  Only the [joystick token](@ref joysticks) is
+guaranteed to be unique, and only until that joystick is disconnected.
+
+
+@section input_time Time input
+
+GLFW provides high-resolution time input, in seconds, with @ref glfwGetTime.
+
+@code
+double seconds = glfwGetTime();
+@endcode
+
+It returns the number of seconds since the timer was started when the library
+was initialized with @ref glfwInit.  The platform-specific time sources used
+usually have micro- or nanosecond resolution.
+
+You can modify the reference time with @ref glfwSetTime.
+
+@code
+glfwSetTime(4.0);
+@endcode
+
+This sets the timer to the specified time, in seconds.
+
+
+@section input_clipboard Clipboard input and output
+
+If the system clipboard contains a UTF-8 encoded string or if it can be
+converted to one, you can retrieve it with @ref glfwGetClipboardString.  See the
+reference documentation for the lifetime of the returned string.
+
+@code
+const char* clipboard = glfwGetClipboardString(window);
+@endcode
+
+The contents of the system clipboard can be set to a UTF-8 encoded string with
+@ref glfwSetClipboardString.
+
+@code
+glfwSetClipboardString(window, "A string with words in it");
+@endcode
+
+The clipboard functions take a window handle argument because some window
+systems require a window to communicate with the system clipboard.  Any valid
+window may be used.
+
+
+@section input_drop Path drop input
+
+If you wish to receive the paths of files and/or directories dropped on
+a window, set a file drop callback with @ref glfwSetDropCallback.
+
+@code
+glfwSetDropCallback(window, drop_callback);
+@endcode
+
+The callback function receives an array of paths encoded as UTF-8.
+
+@code
+void drop_callback(GLFWwindow* window, int count, const char** paths)
+{
+    int i;
+    for (i = 0;  i < count;  i++)
+        handle_dropped_file(paths[i]);
+}
+@endcode
+
+The path array and its strings are only valid until the file drop callback
+returns, as they may have been generated specifically for that event.  You need
+to make a deep copy of the array if you want to keep the paths.

+
+@section coordinate_systems Coordinate systems
+
+GLFW has two primary coordinate systems: the _virtual screen_ and the window
+_client area_.  Both use the same unit: _virtual screen coordinates_, or just
+_screen coordinates_, which don't necessarily correspond to pixels.
+
+<img src="spaces.svg" width="90%" />
+
+Window and monitor positions are specified relative to the upper-left corners of
+their content areas, while cursor positions are specified relative to the window
+client area.
+
+The origin of the window client area coordinate system is also the position of
+the window, meaning you can translate client area coordinates to the virtual
+screen by adding the window position.  The window frame, when present, extend
+out from the client area but does not affect the window position.
+
+Almost all positions and sizes in GLFW are measured in screen coordinates
+relative to one of the two origins above.  This includes cursor positions,
+window positions and sizes, window frame sizes, monitor positions and video mode
+resolutions.
+
+Two exceptions are the [monitor physical size](@ref monitor_size), which is
+measured in millimetres, and [framebuffer size](@ref window_fbsize), which is
+measured in pixels.
+
+Pixels and screen coordinates may map 1:1 on your machine, but they won't on
+every other machine, for example on a Mac with a Retina display.  The ratio
+between screen coordinates and pixels may also change at run-time depending on
+which monitor the window is currently on.
+
+
+@section guarantees_limitations Guarantees and limitations
+
+This section describes the conditions under which GLFW can be expected to
+function, barring any bugs in GLFW, the operating system or drivers.  Use of
+GLFW outside of these limits may work on some platforms, or on some machines, or
+some of the time, or on some versions of GLFW, but it may break at any time and
+will not be considered a bug.
+
+
+@subsection lifetime Pointer lifetimes
+
+GLFW will never free any pointer you provide to it and you must never free any
+pointer it provides to you.
+
+Many GLFW functions return pointers to dynamically allocated structures, strings
+or arrays, and some callbacks are provided with strings or arrays.  These are
+always managed by GLFW and should never be freed by the application.  The
+lifetime of these pointers is documented for each GLFW function and callback.
+If you need to keep this data, you must copy it before its lifetime expires.
+
+Many GLFW functions accept pointers to structures or strings allocated by the
+application.  These are never freed by GLFW and are always the responsibility of
+the application.  If GLFW needs to keep the data in these structures or strings,
+they are copied before the function returns.
+
+Pointer lifetimes are guaranteed not to be shortened in future minor releases.
+
+
+@subsection reentrancy Reentrancy
+
+GLFW event processing and object creation and destruction are not reentrant.
+This means that the following functions may not be called from any callback
+function:
+
+ - @ref glfwCreateWindow
+ - @ref glfwDestroyWindow
+ - @ref glfwCreateCursor
+ - @ref glfwDestroyCursor
+ - @ref glfwPollEvents
+ - @ref glfwWaitEvents
+
+
+@subsection thread_safety Thread safety
+
+Most GLFW functions may only be called from the main thread.  The reference
+documentation for every GLFW function states whether it is limited to the main
+thread.
+
+There are some general rules that make it easier to remember which functions are
+limited to the main thread.  The following tasks may only be performed on the
+main thread:
+
+ - Initialization and termination
+ - Event processing
+ - Creation and destruction of window, context and cursor objects
+
+Because event processing must be performed on the main thread, all callbacks
+except for the error callback will only be called on that thread.  The error
+callback may be called on any thread, as any GLFW function may generate errors.
+
+The posting of empty events may be done from any thread.  The window user
+pointer and close flag may also be accessed and modified from any thread, but
+this is not synchronized by GLFW.  The following window related functions may
+be called from any thread:
+
+ - @ref glfwPostEmptyEvent
+ - @ref glfwGetWindowUserPointer
+ - @ref glfwSetWindowUserPointer
+ - @ref glfwWindowShouldClose
+ - @ref glfwSetWindowShouldClose
+
+Rendering may be done on any thread.  The following context related functions
+may be called from any thread:
+
+ - @ref glfwMakeContextCurrent
+ - @ref glfwGetCurrentContext
+ - @ref glfwSwapBuffers
+ - @ref glfwSwapInterval
+ - @ref glfwExtensionSupported
+ - @ref glfwGetProcAddress
+
+The timer may be accessed from any thread, but this is not synchronized by GLFW.
+The following timer related functions may be called from any thread:        
+

+No GLFW function may be called from any other thread until GLFW has been

+GLFW guarantees binary backward compatibility with earlier minor versions of the

+Once a function or constant has been added, the signature of that function or
+value of that constant will remain unchanged until the next major version of
+GLFW.  No compatibility of any kind is guaranteed between major versions.

+Undefined behavior, i.e. behavior that is not described in reference

+@page rift Oculus Rift guide
+ 
+@tableofcontents
+
+GLFW has no explicit support for the Oculus Rift, but 
+
+This guide requires you to use the [native API](@ref native) and assumes
+a certain level of proficiency with system level APIs and the compiler
+toolchain.
+
+
+@section rift_init Initializing libOVR and GLFW
+
+libOVR needs to be initialized before GLFW.  This means calling
+`ovr_Initialize`, `ovrHmd_Create` and `ovrHmd_ConfigureTracking` before @ref
+glfwInit.  Similarly, libOVR must be shut down after GLFW.  This means calling
+`ovrHmd_Destroy` and `ovr_Shutdown` after @ref glfwTerminate.

+
+@subsection rift_extend_detect Detecting a Rift with GLFW
+
+If you have an actual Rift connected to your machine you can deduce which GLFW
+monitor it corresponds to.  Doing this requires you to use the
+[native API](@ref native).
+
+
+@subsubsection rift_extend_detect_win32 Detecting a Rift on Windows
+
+To identify which monitor corresponds to the Rift, compare Win32 display device
+names.  The display device name of a GLFW monitor is returned by @ref
+glfwGetWin32Monitor and the display device name of the detected Rift is stored
+in the `DisplayDeviceName` member of `ovrHmdDesc`.
+
+@code
+int i, count;
+GLFWmonitor* monitor = NULL;
+GLFWmonitor** monitors = glfwGetMonitors(&count);
+
+for (i = 0;  i < count;  i++)
+{
+    if (strcmp(glfwGetWin32Monitor(monitors[i]), hmd->DisplayDeviceName) == 0)
+    {
+        monitor = monitors[i];
+        break;
+    }
+}
+@endcode
+
+
+@subsubsection rift_extend_detect_osx Detecting a Rift on OS X
+
+To identify which monitor corresponds to the Rift, compare OS X display IDs.
+The display ID of a GLFW monitor is returned by @ref glfwGetCocoaMonitor and the
+display ID of the detected Rift is stored in the `DisplayId` member of
+`ovrHmdDesc`.
+
+@code
+int i, count;
+GLFWmonitor* monitor = NULL;
+GLFWmonitor** monitors = glfwGetMonitors(&count);
+
+for (i = 0;  i < count;  i++)
+{
+    if (glfwGetCocoaMonitor(monitors[i]) == hmd->DisplayId)
+    {
+        monitor = monitors[i];
+        break;
+    }
+}

+
+At the time of writing, the 0.4 Rift SDK does not yet support X11.
