This is an example of documentation generated by ZigDoc, an alternative to Zig's built-in Auto Doc feature. See also examples in other modes/formats. The project being documented here (as the example) is the Zig standard library. Public Namespace

Public Namespace

This file is shared among Zig code running in wildly different contexts:

  • The build runner, running on the host computer
  • The build system web interface Wasm code, running in the browser
  • libfuzzer, compiled alongside unit tests

All of these components interface to some degree via an ABI:

  • The build runner communicates with the web interface over a WebSocket connection
  • The build runner communicates with libfuzzer over a shared memory-mapped file
