These pages document the public API for cmd2. If a method, class, function, attribute, or constant is not documented here, consider it private and subject to change. There are many classes, methods, functions, and constants in the source code that do not begin with an underscore but are not documented here. When looking at the source code for this library, you cannot safely assume that something is a public API just because it doesn't start with an underscore.

If a release of this library changes any of the items documented here, the version number will be incremented according to the Semantic Version Specification.
