DESCRIPTION
ATK (Accessibility Tool Kit) is a set of interfaces which, when imple‐
mented by applications and user-interface component libraries, supports
the use of applications by persons with disabilities. ATK provides a
consistent set of in-process interfaces which conforming components
implement, either directly or via the use of add-on libraries. These
interfaces are in turn exported out-of-process for use by assistive
technologies (see at-spi(3)).
Using ATK, applications can explicitly provide descriptive information
about their components. By using ATK-enabled toolkits such as GTK+,
applications obtain built-in accessibility support.
The ATK API is a queryable, interfaced API for obtaining textual,
attribute-based, and coordinate information from user interface compo‐
nents, and also provides a means of activating and interacting with
those components without the direct use of the keyboard or system
pointing device.
To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version
of the package.
