+\section{Version macros}\label{versionfunctions}
+
+The following constants are defined in wxWindows:
+
+\begin{itemize}\itemsep=0pt
+\item {\tt wxMAJOR\_VERSION} is the major version of wxWindows
+\item {\tt wxMINOR\_VERSION} is the minor version of wxWindows
+\item {\tt wxRELEASE\_NUMBER} is the release number
+\end{itemize}
+
+For example, the values or these constants for wxWindows 2.1.15 are 2, 1 and
+15.
+
+Additionally, {\tt wxVERSION\_STRING} is a user-readable string containing
+the full wxWindows version and {\tt wxVERSION\_NUMBER} is a combination of the
+three version numbers above: for 2.1.15, it is 2115 and it is 2200 for
+wxWindows 2.2.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/version.h> or <wx/defs.h>
+
+\membersection{wxCHECK\_VERSION}\label{wxcheckversion}
+
+\func{bool}{wxCHECK\_VERSION}{\param{}{major, minor, release}}
+
+This is a macro which evaluates to true if the current wxWindows version is at
+least major.minor.release.
+
+For example, to test if the program is compiled with wxWindows 2.2 or higher,
+the following can be done:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxString s;
+#if wxCHECK_VERSION(2, 2, 0)
+ if ( s.StartsWith("foo") )
+#else // replacement code for old version
+ if ( strncmp(s, "foo", 3) == 0 )
+#endif
+ {
+ ...
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section{Application initialization and termination}\label{appinifunctions}
+
+The functions in this section are used on application startup/shutdown and also
+to control the behaviour of the main event loop of the GUI programs.
+
+\membersection{::wxEntry}\label{wxentry}
+
+This initializes wxWindows in a platform-dependent way. Use this if you
+are not using the default wxWindows entry code (e.g. main or WinMain). For example,
+you can initialize wxWindows from an Microsoft Foundation Classes application using
+this function.
+
+\func{void}{wxEntry}{\param{HANDLE}{ hInstance}, \param{HANDLE}{ hPrevInstance},
+ \param{const wxString\& }{commandLine}, \param{int}{ cmdShow}, \param{bool}{ enterLoop = TRUE}}
+
+wxWindows initialization under Windows (non-DLL). If {\it enterLoop} is FALSE, the
+function will return immediately after calling wxApp::OnInit. Otherwise, the wxWindows
+message loop will be entered.
+
+\func{void}{wxEntry}{\param{HANDLE}{ hInstance}, \param{HANDLE}{ hPrevInstance},
+ \param{WORD}{ wDataSegment}, \param{WORD}{ wHeapSize}, \param{const wxString\& }{ commandLine}}
+
+wxWindows initialization under Windows (for applications constructed as a DLL).
+
+\func{int}{wxEntry}{\param{int}{ argc}, \param{const wxString\& *}{argv}}
+
+wxWindows initialization under Unix.
+
+\wxheading{Remarks}
+
+To clean up wxWindows, call wxApp::OnExit followed by the static function
+wxApp::CleanUp. For example, if exiting from an MFC application that also uses wxWindows:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+int CTheApp::ExitInstance()
+{
+ // OnExit isn't called by CleanUp so must be called explicitly.
+ wxTheApp->OnExit();
+ wxApp::CleanUp();
+
+ return CWinApp::ExitInstance();
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/app.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxHandleFatalExceptions}\label{wxhandlefatalexceptions}
+
+\func{bool}{wxHandleFatalExceptions}{\param{bool}{ doIt = TRUE}}
+
+If {\it doIt} is TRUE, the fatal exceptions (also known as general protection
+faults under Windows or segmentation violations in the Unix world) will be
+caught and passed to \helpref{wxApp::OnFatalException}{wxapponfatalexception}.
+By default, i.e. before this function is called, they will be handled in the
+normal way which usually just means that the application will be terminated.
+Calling wxHandleFatalExceptions() with {\it doIt} equal to FALSE will restore
+this default behaviour.
+
+\membersection{::wxInitAllImageHandlers}\label{wxinitallimagehandlers}
+
+\func{void}{wxInitAllImageHandlers}{\void}
+
+Initializes all available image handlers. For a list of available handlers,
+see \helpref{wxImage}{wximage}.
+

+
+\membersection{::wxInitialize}\label{wxinitialize}
+
+\func{bool}{wxInitialize}{\void}
+
+This function is used in wxBase only and only if you don't create
+\helpref{wxApp}{wxapp} object at all. In this case you must call it from your
+{\tt main()} function before calling any other wxWindows functions.
+
+If the function returns {\tt FALSE} the initialization could not be performed,
+in this case the library cannot be used and
+\helpref{wxUninitialize}{wxuninitialize} shouldn't be called neither.
+
+This function may be called several times but
+\helpref{wxUninitialize}{wxuninitialize} must be called for each successful
+call to this function.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/app.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxSafeYield}\label{wxsafeyield}
+
+\func{bool}{wxSafeYield}{\param{wxWindow*}{ win = NULL}}
+
+This function is similar to wxYield, except that it disables the user input to
+all program windows before calling wxYield and re-enables it again
+afterwards. If {\it win} is not NULL, this window will remain enabled,
+allowing the implementation of some limited user interaction.
+
+Returns the result of the call to \helpref{::wxYield}{wxyield}.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/utils.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxUninitialize}\label{wxuninitialize}
+
+\func{void}{wxUninitialize}{\void}
+
+This function is for use in console (wxBase) programs only. It must be called
+once for each previous successful call to \helpref{wxInitialize}{wxinitialize}.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/app.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxYield}\label{wxyield}
+
+\func{bool}{wxYield}{\void}
+
+Calls \helpref{wxApp::Yield}{wxappyield}.
+
+This function is kept only for backwards compatibility, please use
+\helpref{wxApp::Yield}{wxappyield}method instead in any new code.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/app.h> or <wx/utils.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxWakeUpIdle}\label{wxwakeupidle}
+
+\func{void}{wxWakeUpIdle}{\void}
+
+This functions wakes up the (internal and platform dependent) idle system, i.e. it
+will force the system to send an idle event even if the system currently {\it is}
+ idle and thus would not send any idle event until after some other event would get
+sent. This is also useful for sending events between two threads and is used by
+the corresponding functions \helpref{::wxPostEvent}{wxpostevent} and
+\helpref{wxEvtHandler::AddPendingEvent}{wxevthandleraddpendingevent}.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/app.h>
+
+\section{Process control functions}\label{processfunctions}
+
+The functions in this section are used to launch or terminate the other
+processes.
+
+\membersection{::wxExecute}\label{wxexecute}
+
+\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{command}, \param{bool }{sync = FALSE}, \param{wxProcess *}{callback = NULL}}
+
+\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{char **}{argv}, \param{bool }{sync = FALSE}, \param{wxProcess *}{callback = NULL}}
+
+\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{command}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{output}}
+
+\func{long}{wxExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{command}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{output}, \param{wxArrayString\& }{errors}}
+
+Executes another program in Unix or Windows.
+
+The first form takes a command string, such as {\tt "emacs file.txt"}.
+
+The second form takes an array of values: a command, any number of
+arguments, terminated by NULL.
+
+The semantics of the third and fourth versions is different from the first two
+and is described in more details below.
+
+If {\it sync} is FALSE (the default), flow of control immediately returns.
+If TRUE, the current application waits until the other program has terminated.
+
+In the case of synchronous execution, the return value is the exit code of
+the process (which terminates by the moment the function returns) and will be
+$-1$ if the process couldn't be started and typically 0 if the process
+terminated successfully. Also, while waiting for the process to
+terminate, wxExecute will call \helpref{wxYield}{wxyield}. The caller
+should ensure that this can cause no recursion, in the simplest case by
+calling \helpref{wxEnableTopLevelWindows(FALSE)}{wxenabletoplevelwindows}.
+
+For asynchronous execution, however, the return value is the process id and
+zero value indicates that the command could not be executed. As an added
+complication, the return value of $-1$ in this case indicattes that we didn't
+launch a new process, but connected to the running one (this can only happen in
+case of using DDE under Windows for command execution). In particular, in this,
+and only this, case the calling code will not get the notification about
+process termination.
+
+If callback isn't NULL and if execution is asynchronous (note that callback
+parameter can not be non-NULL for synchronous execution),
+\helpref{wxProcess::OnTerminate}{wxprocessonterminate} will be called when
+the process finishes.
+
+Finally, you may use the third overloaded version of this function to execute
+a process (always synchronously) and capture its output in the array
+{\it output}. The fourth version adds the possibility to additionally capture
+the messages from standard error output in the {\it errors} array.
+
+See also \helpref{wxShell}{wxshell}, \helpref{wxProcess}{wxprocess},
+\helpref{Exec sample}{sampleexec}.

+\wxheading{Include files}

+
+\membersection{::wxExit}\label{wxexit}
+
+\func{void}{wxExit}{\void}
+
+Exits application after calling \helpref{wxApp::OnExit}{wxapponexit}.
+Should only be used in an emergency: normally the top-level frame
+should be deleted (after deleting all other frames) to terminate the
+application. See \helpref{wxWindow::OnCloseWindow}{wxwindowonclosewindow} and \helpref{wxApp}{wxapp}.
+
+\wxheading{Include files}
+
+<wx/app.h>
+
+\membersection{::wxKill}\label{wxkill}
+
+\func{int}{wxKill}{\param{long}{ pid}, \param{int}{ sig = wxSIGTERM}, \param{wxKillError }{*rc = NULL}}
+
+Equivalent to the Unix kill function: send the given signal {\it sig} to the
+process with PID {\it pid}. The valud signal values are
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+enum wxSignal
+{
+ wxSIGNONE = 0, // verify if the process exists under Unix
+ wxSIGHUP,
+ wxSIGINT,
+ wxSIGQUIT,
+ wxSIGILL,
+ wxSIGTRAP,
+ wxSIGABRT,
+ wxSIGEMT,
+ wxSIGFPE,
+ wxSIGKILL, // forcefully kill, dangerous!
+ wxSIGBUS,
+ wxSIGSEGV,
+ wxSIGSYS,
+ wxSIGPIPE,
+ wxSIGALRM,
+ wxSIGTERM // terminate the process gently
+};
+\end{verbatim}
+
+{\tt wxSIGNONE}, {\tt wxSIGKILL} and {\tt wxSIGTERM} have the same meaning
+under both Unix and Windows but all the other signals are equivalent to
+{\tt wxSIGTERM} under Windows.
+
+Returns 0 on success, -1 on failure. If {\it rc} parameter is not NULL, it will
+be filled with an element of {\tt wxKillError} enum:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+enum wxKillError
+{
+ wxKILL_OK, // no error
+ wxKILL_BAD_SIGNAL, // no such signal
+ wxKILL_ACCESS_DENIED, // permission denied
+ wxKILL_NO_PROCESS, // no such process
+ wxKILL_ERROR // another, unspecified error

+\membersection{::wxMutexGuiEnter}\label{wxmutexguienter}
+
+\func{void}{wxMutexGuiEnter}{\void}
+
+This function must be called when any thread other than the main GUI thread
+wants to get access to the GUI library. This function will block the execution
+of the calling thread until the main thread (or any other thread holding the
+main GUI lock) leaves the GUI library and no other thread will enter the GUI
+library until the calling thread calls \helpref{::wxMutexGuiLeave()}{wxmutexguileave}.
+
+Typically, these functions are used like this:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+void MyThread::Foo(void)
+{
+ // before doing any GUI calls we must ensure that this thread is the only
+ // one doing it!
+
+ wxMutexGuiEnter();
+
+ // Call GUI here:
+ my_window->DrawSomething();
+
+ wxMutexGuiLeave();
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Note that under GTK, no creation of top-level windows is allowed in any
+thread but the main one.
+
+This function is only defined on platforms which support preemptive
+threads.
