     Hello,

     I have added a doxygen configuration file in doc/ . After 
./configure, you can cd to doc/ and run 'doxygen doxygen-genesys.conf', 
it will create a genesys-html/ subdirectory with html documentation. It 
should help you understand of to use the frontend struct.

Regards,
     Stef
