Inspection Class

This class can be used to inspect other files and will return objects that can be further used to generate for example, this page and many of the other pages found in this User Guide. It is essentially a wrapper around many of the convenient objects and methods of the PHP Refelction class but provides extra functionality for parsing out comment information. Below is a list of related classes used by the Inspection class:
