//! Raw bindings to C functions of the Fast Artificial Neural Network library
//!
//!
//! # Creation/Execution
//!
//! The FANN library is designed to be very easy to use.
//! A feedforward ANN can be created by a simple `fann_create_standard` function, while
//! other ANNs can be created just as easily. The ANNs can be trained by `fann_train_on_file`
//! and executed by `fann_run`.
//!
//! All of this can be done without much knowledge of the internals of ANNs, although the ANNs
//! created will still be powerful and effective. If you have more knowledge about ANNs, and desire
//! more control, almost every part of the ANNs can be parametrized to create specialized and highly
//! optimal ANNs.
//!
//!
//! # Training
//!
//! There are many different ways of training neural networks and the FANN library supports
//! a number of different approaches.
//!
//! Two fundementally different approaches are the most commonly used:
//!
//! * Fixed topology training - The size and topology of the ANN is determined in advance
//! and the training alters the weights in order to minimize the difference between
//! the desired output values and the actual output values. This kind of training is
//! supported by `fann_train_on_data`.
//!
//! * Evolving topology training - The training start out with an empty ANN, only consisting
//! of input and output neurons. Hidden neurons and connections are added during training,
//! in order to achieve the same goal as for fixed topology training. This kind of training
//! is supported by FANN Cascade Training.
//!
//!
//! # Cascade Training
//!
//! Cascade training differs from ordinary training in the sense that it starts with an empty neural
//! network and then adds neurons one by one, while it trains the neural network. The main benefit
//! of this approach is that you do not have to guess the number of hidden layers and neurons prior
//! to training, but cascade training has also proved better at solving some problems.
//!
//! The basic idea of cascade training is that a number of candidate neurons are trained separate
//! from the real network, then the most promising of these candidate neurons is inserted into the
//! neural network. Then the output connections are trained and new candidate neurons are prepared.
//! The candidate neurons are created as shortcut connected neurons in a new hidden layer, which
//! means that the final neural network will consist of a number of hidden layers with one shortcut
//! connected neuron in each.
//!
//!
//! # File Input/Output
//!
//! It is possible to save an entire ann to a file with `fann_save` for future loading with
//! `fann_create_from_file`.
//!
//!
//! # Error Handling
//!
//! Errors from the FANN library are usually reported on `stderr`.
//! It is however possible to redirect these error messages to a file,
//! or completely ignore them with the `fann_set_error_log` function.
//!
//! It is also possible to inspect the last error message by using the
//! `fann_get_errno` and `fann_get_errstr` functions.
//!
//!
//! # Datatypes
//!
//! The two main datatypes used in the FANN library are `fann`,
//! which represents an artificial neural network, and `fann_train_data`,
//! which represents training data.
