       Bobcat - Overview of classes in the Bobcat library

DESCRIPTION

       The  classes  of  the  Bobcat  library  may  be  used  after  including
       bobcat/classname in sources.

       All classes and other elements are defined in the  FBB  namespace.  For
       some  classes  manipulators are available, which are defined in the FBB
       namespace. An overview of all manipulators defined in the FBB namespace
       is provided by man -e bobcat manipulators.

       Next to this section the section CATEGORIES groups classes that somehow
       belong together in various categories.
