This is Coq, a proof assistant for the Calculus of Inductive Construction.
This document describes the implementation of Coq.
It has been automatically generated from the source of
Coq using ocamldoc, a literate programming tool for
Objective Caml  freely available at http://caml.inria.fr/.
The source files are organized in several directories ordered like that:

{ol {- Utility libraries : lib

describes the various utility libraries used in the code
of Coq.}
{- Kernel : kernel

describes the \Coq\ kernel, which is a type checker for the Calculus
of Inductive Construction.}
{- Library : library

describes the Coq library, which is made of two parts:
- a general mechanism to keep a trace of all operations and of
    the state of the system, with backtrack capabilities;
- a global environment for the CCI, with functions to export and 
    import compiled modules.

{- Pretyping : pretyping

}
{- Front abstract syntax of terms : interp

describes the translation from Coq context-dependent
front abstract syntax of terms {v front v} to and from the
context-free, untyped, raw form of constructions {v rawconstr v}.}
{- Parsers and printers : parsing

describes the implementation of the \Coq\ parsers and printers.}
{- Proof engine : proofs

describes the Coq proof engine, which is also called
the ``refiner'', since it provides a way to build terms by successive
refining steps. Those steps are either primitive rules or higher-level
tactics.}
{- Tacticts : tactics

describes the Coq main tactics.}
{- Toplevel : toplevel

describes the highest modules of the Coq system.}
