/**

 * 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 {@code -public}, {@code -protected}, {@code -package}, {@code -private}.

 * Alternatively, the older options can continue to be used as shorter

 * forms for combinations of the new options, as described below:

 * <table class="striped">
