NAME
       libatk-1.0 - Accessibility Toolkit API

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(3lib)).

       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.
