/**
 * @mainpage A C++ wrapper for the LHAPDF library
 *
 * @section intro Introduction
 * The LHAPDF library provides a set of C++ wrapper functions
 * for its Fortran subroutines. New users should browse this
 * documentation and take a look at the @c CCTest1.cc and
 * @c CCTest2.cc example program source files, which are good
 * examples of how the wrapper is used.
 *
 * @section changes Recent changes
 * The LHAPDF wrapper has been improved in several ways for
 * the LHAPDF v5.4 release:
 *
 * @li String passing to the Fortran functions from C++ now
 *  correctly passes the hidden length argument, fixing problems
 *  on 64 bit systems;
 * @li The @c LHAPDFWrap class has been deprecated in favour of
 *  a set of wrapper functions in the @c LHAPDF namespace. The
 *  class interface was misleading, since no persistent state
 *  was involved and two class instances would not have been
 *  independent;
 * @li Proper C++ @c std::string arguments can now be used for
 *  set names: @c char* string arguments can still be passed, due
 *  to implicit conversion via the string(char*) constructor.
 *
 * @section credits Credits
 *
 * @li Originally by Stefan Gieseke.
 * @li Adapted for LHAPDFv4 by Mike Whalley.
 * @li Adapted for LHAPDFv5 by Craig Group/Mike Whalley.
 * @li v5.4: Fortran portability, tidying, extensions
 *  and conversion to namespaced functions by Andy Buckley.
 * @li v5.4.1: Rationalised init functions and deprecated "M"
 *  functions by Andy Buckley.
 * @li v5.5.1: Added PDFSetInfo set metadata struct, and
 *  associated querying based on reading the PDFsets.index file.
 *
 * @example ../examples/CCTest1.cc
 * This is an example of a program using the recommended C++
 * interface to LHAPDF.
 *
 * @example ../examples/CCTest2.cc
 * An example of a program using the C++ interface to LHAPDF to
 * calculate PDF errors.
