+/**
+ * @page howtoInput Input Processing
+ *
+ * libyang provides a mechanism to generalize work with the inputs (and [outputs](@ref howtoOutput)) of
+ * the different types. The ::ly_in handler can be created providing necessary information connected with the specific
+ * input type and then used throughout the parser functions processing the input data. Using a generic input handler avoids
+ * need to have a set of functions for each parser functionality and results in simpler API.
+ *
+ * The API allows to alter the source of the data behind the handler by another source. Also resetting a seekable source
+ * input is possible with ::ly_in_reset() to re-read the input.
+ *
+ * @note
+ * Currently, libyang supports only reading data from standard (disk) file, not from sockets, pipes, etc. The reason is
+ * that the parsers expects all the data to be present in the file (input data are complete). In future, we would like
+ * to change the internal mechanism and support sequential processing of the input data. In XML wording - we have DOM
+ * parser, but in future we would like to move to something like a SAX parser.
+ *
+ * @note
+ * This mechanism was introduced in libyang 2.0. To simplify transition from libyang 1.0 to version 2.0 and also for
+ * some simple use case where using the input handler would be an overkill, there are some basic parsers functions
+ * that do not require input handler. But remember, that functionality of these function can be limited in particular cases
+ * in contrast to the functions using input handlers.
+ *
+ * Functions List

+ * - ::ly_in_new_fd()
