# kdecore Module

## The KDE Core Library

All KDE programs use this library to provide basic functionality such as the configuration system, IPC, internationalization and locale support, site-independent access to the filesystem and a large number of other (but no less important) things.

All KDE applications should link to the kdecore library. Also, using a KApplication derived class instead of QApplication is almost mandatory if you expect your application to behave nicely within the KDE environment.

If you are unsure where to start, have a look at the tutorials on TechBase to get you going.

If you know what you are looking for, you should be able to find it in the class list or the modules list.
