-Using CodeIgniter Drivers
-#########################
-
-Drivers are a special type of Library that has a parent class and any
-number of potential child classes. Child classes have access to the
-parent class, but not their siblings. Drivers provide an elegant syntax
-in your :doc:`controllers <controllers>` for libraries that benefit
-from or require being broken down into discrete classes.
-
-Drivers are found in the *system/libraries/* directory, in their own
-sub-directory which is identically named to the parent library class.
-Also inside that directory is a subdirectory named drivers, which
-contains all of the possible child class files.
-
-To use a driver you will initialize it within a controller using the
-following initialization method::
-
-	$this->load->driver('class_name');
-
-Where class name is the name of the driver class you want to invoke. For
-example, to load a driver named "Some_parent" you would do this::
-
-	$this->load->driver('some_parent');
-
-Methods of that class can then be invoked with::
-
-	$this->some_parent->some_method();
-
-The child classes, the drivers themselves, can then be called directly
-through the parent class, without initializing them::
-
-	$this->some_parent->child_one->some_method();
-	$this->some_parent->child_two->another_method();
-
-Creating Your Own Drivers
-=========================
-
-Please read the section of the user guide that discusses how to :doc:`create
-your own drivers <creating_drivers>`.
