Welcome to DFHack's documentation!

Introduction
============
DFHack is a Dwarf Fortress memory access library, distributed with scripts
and plugins implementing a wide variety of useful functions and tools.
For users, it provides a significant suite of bugfixes and interface
enhancements by default, and more can be enabled. There are also many tools
(such as `workflow` or `autodump`) which can make life easier.
You can even add third-party scripts and plugins to do almost anything!
For modders, DFHack makes many things possible. Custom reactions, new
interactions, magic creature abilities, and more can be set through `modtools`
and custom raws. Non-standard DFHack scripts and inits can be stored in the
raw directory, making raws or saves fully self-contained for distribution -
or for coexistence in a single DF install, even with incompatible components.
For developers, DFHack unites the various ways tools access DF memory and
allows easier development of new tools. As an open-source project under
`various copyleft licences <license>`, contributions are welcome.
