The Spot Library

Spot is a model-checking library. It provides algorithms and data structures to manipulate omega-automata, and implement the automata-theoretic approach to model-checking.

See spot.lrde.epita.fr for more information about this project.

This Document

This document describes all the public data structures and functions of Spot. This aims to be a reference manual, not a tutorial.

If you are new to this manual, start with the module page. This is what looks the closest to a table of contents.
