+/**
+ * SECTION:gstnavigation
+ * @short_description: Interface for creating, sending and parsing navigation
+ * events. Navigation events are used for conveying mouse movement, button clicks,
+ * key presses and specific commands such as DVD menu navigation.
+ *
+ * <refsect2>
+ * <para>
+ * The Navigation interface is used for creating and injecting navigation related
+ * events such as mouse button presses, cursor motion and key presses. The associated
+ * library also provides methods for parsing received events, and for sending and
+ * receiving navigation related bus events.
+ * </para>
+ * <para>
+ * The main parts of the API are:
+ * <itemizedlist>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * The GstNavigation interface, implemented by elements which provide an application
+ * with the ability to create and inject navigation events into the pipeline.
+ * </para>
+ * </listitem>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * GstNavigation event handling API. GstNavigation events are created in response to
+ * calls on a GstNavigation interface implementation, and sent in the pipeline. Upstream
+ * elements can use the navigation event API functions to parse the contents of received
+ * messages.
+ * </para>
+ * </listitem>
+ * <listitem>
+ * <para>
+ * GstNavigation message handling API. GstNavigation messages may be sent on the message
+ * bus to inform applications of navigation related changes in the pipeline, such as the
+ * mouse moving over a clickable region, or the set of available angles changing.
+ * </para><para>
+ * The GstNavigation message functions provide functions for creating and parsing
+ * custom bus messages for signalling GstNavigation changes.
