/**
 * The Doclet API provides an environment which, in conjunction with
 * the Language Model API and Compiler Tree API, allows clients
 * to inspect the source-level structures of programs and
 * libraries, including API comments embedded in the source.
 *
 * <p>
 * The {@link StandardDoclet standard doclet} can be used to
 * generate HTML-formatted documentation. It supports user-defined
 * {@link Taglet taglets}, which can be used to generate customized
 * output for user-defined tags in documentation comments.
 *
 * <p style="font-style: italic">
 * <b>Note:</b> The declarations in this package supersede those
 * in the older package {@code com.sun.javadoc}. For details on the
 * mapping of old types to new types, see the
 * <a href="#migration">Migration Guide</a>.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * Doclets are invoked by javadoc and this API can be used to write out
 * program information to files.  For example, the standard doclet is
 * invoked by default, to generate HTML documentation.
 * <p>

 * The invocation is defined by the interface {@link jdk.javadoc.doclet.Doclet}
 * -- the {@link jdk.javadoc.doclet.Doclet#run(DocletEnvironment) run} interface
 * method, defines the entry point.
 * <pre>
 *    public boolean <b>run</b>(DocletEnvironment environment)
 * </pre>
 * The {@link jdk.javadoc.doclet.DocletEnvironment} instance holds the
 * environment that the doclet will be initialized with. From this environment
 * all other information can be extracted, in the form of
 * {@link javax.lang.model.element.Element elements}. One can further use the APIs and utilities
 * described by {@link javax.lang.model Language Model API} to query Elements and Types.
 * <p>
 *
 * <a id="terminology"></a>
 * <h3>Terminology</h3>
 *
 * <dl>
 *   <dt><a id="selected"></a>Selected</dt>
 *     <dd>An element is considered to be <em>selected</em>, if the
 *         <em>selection controls</em> <a href="#options">allow</a> it
 *         to be documented. (Note that synthetic elements are never
 *         selected.)
 *    </dd>
 *
 *   <dt><a id="specified"></a>Specified</dt>
 *   <dd>The set of elements specified by the user are considered to be <em>specified
 *       elements</em>. Specified elements provide the starting points
 *       for determining the <em>included elements</em> to be documented.
 *   </dd>
 *
 *   <dt><a id="included"></a>Included</dt>
 *   <dd>An element is considered to be <em>included</em>, if it is
 *       <em>specified</em> if it contains a <em>specified</em> element,
 *       or it is enclosed in a <em>specified</em> element, and is <em>selected</em>.
 *       Included elements will be documented.
 *   </dd>
 *
 * </dl>
 * <p>
 * <a id="options"></a>
 * <h3>Options</h3>
 * Javadoc <em>selection control</em> can be specified with these options
 * as follows:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@code --show-members:value} and {@code --show-types:value} can
 *       be used to filter the members, with the following values:
 *   <ul>
 *     <li> public    -- considers only public elements
 *     <li> protected -- considers public and protected elements
 *     <li> package   -- considers public, protected and package private elements
 *     <li> private   -- considers all elements
 *   </ul>
 *
 *   <li>{@code --show-packages:value} "exported" or "all" can be used
 *       to consider only exported packages or all packages within a module.
 *
 *   <li>{@code --show-module-contents:value} can be used to specify the level at
 *       module declarations could be documented. A value of "api" indicates API
 *       level documentation, and "all" indicates detailed documentation.
 * </ul>
 * The following options can be used to specify the elements to be documented:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>{@code --module} documents the specified modules.
 *
 *   <li>{@code --expand-requires:value} expand the set of modules to be documented
 *        by including some or all of the modules dependencies. The value may be
 *        one of:
 *   <ul>
 *     <li> transitive -- each module specified explicitly on the command line is
 *          expanded to include the closure of its transitive dependencies
 *     <li> all    -- each module specified explicitly on the command line
 *          is expanded to include the closure of its transitive dependencies,
 *          and also all of its direct dependencies
 *   </ul>
 *   By default, only the specified modules will be considered, without expansion
 *   of the module dependencies.
 *
 *   <li>{@code packagenames} can be used to specify packages.
 *   <li>{@code -subpackages} can be used to recursively load packages.
 *   <li>{@code -exclude} can be used exclude package directories.
 *   <li>{@code sourcefilenames} can be used to specify source file names.
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * <a id="legacy-interactions"></a>
 * <h4>Interactions with older options.</h4>
 *
 * The new {@code --show-*} options provide a more detailed replacement
 * for the older options -public, -protected, -package, -private.
 * Alternatively, the older options can continue to be used as shorter
 * forms for combinations of the new options, as described below:
 <table style="font-family: monospace" border=1>

    <tr><th>Older option<th colspan="5">Equivalent to these values with the new option

  </table>
 * <p>
 * <a id="qualified"></a>
 * A <em>qualified</em> element name is one that has its package
 * name prepended to it, such as {@code java.lang.String}.  A non-qualified
 * name has no package name, such as {@code String}.
