    \title Special-Purpose Global Functions Exported by Qt
    \ingroup classlists

    Qt provides a few low-level global functions for fine-tuning
    applications. Most of these perform very specific tasks and are
    platform-specific. In general, we recommend that you try using
    Qt's public API before resorting to using any functions mentioned
    here.

    These functions are exported by \l QtCore and \l QtGui, but most
    of them aren't declared in Qt's header files. To use them in your
    application, you must declare them before calling them. For
    example:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/doc_src_exportedfunctions.qdoc 0

    These functions will remain as part of Qt for the lifetime of Qt
    4.

    Functions:

    \tableofcontents

    \section1 void qt_set_library_config_file(const QString &\e{fileName})

    Specifies the location of the Qt configuration file. You must
    call this function before constructing a QApplication or
    QCoreApplication object. If no location is specified, Qt
    automatically finds an appropriate location.

    \section1 void qt_set_sequence_auto_mnemonic(bool \e{enable})

    Specifies whether mnemonics for menu items, labels, etc., should
    be honored or not. On Windows and X11, this feature is
    on by default; on Mac OS X, it is off. When this feature is off,
    the QKeySequence::mnemonic() function always returns an empty
    string. This feature is also enabled on embedded Linux.
