     4 .SH "DESCRIPTION"

     5 .PP

     6 ATK (Accessibility Tool Kit) is a set of interfaces which, when implemented by

     7 applications and user-interface component libraries, supports the use of

     8 applications by persons with disabilities\&.  ATK provides a consistent set of

     9 in-process interfaces which conforming components implement, either directly or

    10 via the use of add-on libraries\&. These interfaces are in turn exported

    11 out-of-process for use by assistive technologies (see

    12 .BR at-spi (3lib))\&.

    13 .PP

    14 Using ATK, applications can explicitly provide descriptive information about

    15 their components\&. By using ATK-enabled toolkits such as GTK+, applications

    16 obtain built-in accessibility support\&.

    17 .PP

    18 The ATK API is a queryable, interfaced API for obtaining textual,

    19 attribute-based, and coordinate information from user interface components, and

    20 also provides a means of activating and interacting with those components

    21 without the direct use of the keyboard or system pointing device\&.
