##### 4.3.12`` Index-Entry Descriptions

(require scribble/manual-struct)

The scribble/manual-struct library provides types used to describe index entries created by scribble/manual functions. These structure types are provided separate from scribble/manual so that scribble/manual need not be loaded when deserializing cross-reference information that was generated by a previously rendered document.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | module-path-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-module-path-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to a module definition via defmodule and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | exported-index-desc (name from-libs)
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-exported-index-desc)

> name : symbol?
> from-libs : (listof module-path?)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of an exported binding. The name field and from-libs list correspond to the documented name of the binding and the primary modules that export the documented name (but this list is not exhaustive, because new modules can re-export the binding).

> > struct

> > (struct |  | form-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-form-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a syntactic form via defform and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | procedure-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-procedure-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a procedure binding via defproc and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | thing-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-thing-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a binding via defthing and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | struct-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-struct-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a structure type via defstruct and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | class-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-class-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a class via defclass and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | interface-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-interface-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of an interface via definterface and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | mixin-index-desc exported-index-desc ()
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-mixin-index-desc)

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of a mixin via defmixin and company.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | method-index-desc exported-index-desc | ( | method-name
> > |  |  |  | class-tag)
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-method-index-desc)

> method-name : symbol?
> class-tag : tag?

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to the definition of an method via defmethod and company. The name field from exported-index-desc names the class or interface that contains the method. The method-name field names the method. The class-tag field provides a pointer to the start of the documentation for the method’s class or interface.

> > struct

> > (struct |  | constructor-index-desc exported-index-desc (class-tag)
> > |  | #:extra-constructor-name make-constructor-index-desc)

> class-tag : tag?

Indicates that the index entry corresponds to a constructor via defconstructor and company. The name field from exported-index-desc names the class or interface that contains the method. The class-tag field provides a pointer to the start of the documentation for the method’s class or interface.
