/** \mainpage
 * Libqrencode is a library for encoding data in a QR Code symbol, a kind of 2D
 * symbology.
 *
 * <h2>Encoding</h2>
 * 
 * There are two ways to encode data: <b>encoding a string</b> or 
 * <b>encoding a structured data</b>.
 *
 * <h3>Encoding a string</h3>
 * You can encode a string by calling QRcode_encodeString().
 * The given string is parsed automatically and encoded. If you want to encode
 * data that can be represented as a C string style (NUL terminated), you can
 * simply use this way.
 *
 * If the input data contains Kanji (Shift-JIS) characters and you want to
 * encode them as Kanji in QR Code, you should give QR_MODE_KANJI as a hint.
 * Otherwise, all of non-alphanumeric characters are encoded as 8 bit data.
 *
 * Please note that a C string can not contain NUL character. If your data
 * contains NUL, you should chose the second way.
 *
 * <h3>Encoding a structured data</h3>
 * You can construct a structured input data manually. If the structure of the
 * input data is known, you can use this way.
 * At first, you must create a ::QRinput object by QRinput_new(). Then, you can
 * add input data to the QRinput object by QRinput_append().
 * Finally you can call QRcode_encodeInput() to encode the QRinput data.
 * You can reuse the QRinput data again to encode it in other symbols with
 * different parameters.
 *
 * <h2>Result</h2>
 * The encoded symbol is resulted as a ::QRcode object. It will contain
 * its version number, width of the symbol and an array represents the symbol.
 * See ::QRcode for the details. You can free the object by QRcode_free().
 *
 * Please note that the version of the result may be larger than specified.
 * In such cases, the input data would be too large to be encoded in the
 * symbol of the specified version.
 *
