| # analysis_server | |
| A long-running process that provides analysis results to other tools. | |
| The analysis server is designed to provide on-going analysis of one or more code | |
| bases as those code bases are changing. | |
| ## Using the server | |
| The analysis server is not intended to be used stand-alone, and therefore does | |
| not have a human-friendly user interface. | |
| Clients (typically tools, such as an editor) are expected to run the analysis | |
| server in a separate process and communicate with it using a JSON protocol. The | |
| protocol is specified in the file [`analysis_server/doc/api.html`][api]. | |
| ## Features and bugs | |
