### 8.4 Base project methods

These methods are important for querying base information from project and target types:

`ede-name`

  Return a string that is the name of this target.

`ede-target-name`

  Return a string that is the name of the target used by a Make system.

`ede-description`

  A brief description of the project or target. This is currently used by the ‘`ede-speedbar`’ interface.

`ede-want-file-p`

  Return non-`nil` if a target will accept a given file. It is generally unnecessary to override this. See the section on source code.

`ede-buffer-mine`

  Return non-`nil` if a buffer belongs to this target. Used during association when a file is loaded. It is generally unnecessary to override this unless you keep auxiliary files.

These methods are used by the semantic package extensions. See Semantic manual.

`ede-buffer-header-file`

  Return a header file belonging to a given buffer. Prototypes are place there when appropriate

`ede-buffer-documentation-files`

  Return the documentation file information about this file would be stored in.

`ede-documentation`

  List all documentation a project or target is responsible for.
