Manual pages

Every public function has a manual page -- coverage is a release gate.

---

Every public function ships a manual page (man xtc_loop, etc.). Coverage is enforced by a release gate: a public xtc_* symbol without a man page fails the build. The pages below link to their source in the repository; after make install they are on your system as man 3 xtc_loop and friends.

Section 7 – overview

• xtc(7) – the library, top to bottom.
• xtc-build(7) – build and configure options.
• xtc-abi-stability(7) – what stays fixed across releases.

Section 3 – the public API

Grouped roughly by layer (event runtime, processes, synchronization, orchestration, I/O, storage, observability):

• xtc_aio(3) – async file I/O for fibers
• xtc_alloc_audit(3) – debug allocation auditor with per-process leak detection
• xtc_app(3) – OTP-style application container
• xtc_async(3) – L2 stackful coroutines and protothreads
• xtc_bdev(3) – portable block-device I/O over async fibers
• xtc_blocking(3) – offload blocking work to a thread pool without stalling the loop
• xtc_cfg(3) – typed runtime configuration registry
• xtc_chan(3) – typed channels for cross-task message passing
• xtc_dio_sched(3) – adaptive genetic-algorithm tuner for runtime self-tuning
• xtc_dump(3) – crash diagnostics: runtime-state dump, panic, fatal-signal handler
• xtc_exec(3) – L2 multi-loop work-stealing executor
• xtc_free(3) – public allocation, clock, sleep, and atomic helpers
• xtc_fs(3) – portable synchronous filesystem helpers
• xtc_inject(3) – fault-injection points
• xtc_inspect(3) – live process and loop introspection
• xtc_io(3) – L1 event-notification engine
