DESCRIPTION
Agar is a cross-platform GUI system and framework.
It provides a programming platform and a standard toolkit of widgets from
which graphical applications can be built.
AGAR-CORE ↑
The
ag_core library is Agar's non-graphical platform and utility library.
It implements the base object system, events / virtual functions and timers.
It provides cross-platform interfaces to OS services such as

Manual pages are provided for most Agar object classes.
Some sections are standard throughout the documentation:
