VOS Documentation

Documenting VOS and related software is an ongoing effort. Here you will find general system documentation, and API documentation for all our VOS software (libvos library and applications). For object type documentation, see the OTD area.

Please contact Reed or Pete or the mailing list with any errors or comments on the documentation. Thanks.

VOS Manual and API Reference

Read The Manual

The definitive resource for VOS documentation is the VOS manual. It includes our general vision of using VOS for multiuser virtual worlds, a general overview of how VOS works, how to use some of the applications, an introduction to programming with VOS it C++ and Perl, some info about OTDs and the protocol, and finally, building and installation information, and a FAQ.

Developers' API Documentation

This API documentation is automatically generated from comments in the source by Doxygen. These API documents cover all the code in the VOS source tree, including various applications and Metaobject plugins (these will appear as subclasses of MetaObject).

Development TODO Lists

These are lists of desired features, bugs that need to be fixed, as well as a bunch of crazy pie-in-the-sky ideas for the far future.

Terms and Definitions

This section defines various concepts and jargon used when talking about VOS, and is still in progress. Please let us know if something should be added.
