    \class QAssistantClient
    \brief The QAssistantClient class provides a means of using Qt
    Assistant as an application's help tool.

    Using Qt Assistant is simple: Create a QAssistantClient instance,
    then call showPage() as often as necessary to show your help
    pages. When you call showPage(), Qt Assistant will be launched if
    it isn't already running.

    The QAssistantClient instance can open (openAssistant()) or close
    (closeAssistant()) Qt Assistant whenever required. If Qt Assistant
    is open, isOpen() returns TRUE.

    One QAssistantClient instance interacts with one Qt Assistant
    instance, so every time you call openAssistant(), showPage() or
    closeAssistant() they are applied to the particular Qt Assistant
    instance associated with the QAssistantClient.

    When you call openAssistant() the assistantOpened() signal is
    emitted. Similarly when closeAssistant() is called,
    assistantClosed() is emitted. In either case, if an error occurs,
    error() is emitted.

    This class is not included in the Qt library itself. To use it you
    must link against \c libqassistantclient.a (Unix) or \c
    qassistantclient.lib (Windows), which is built into \c INSTALL/lib
    if you built the Qt tools (\c INSTALL is the directory where Qt is
    installed). If you use qmake, then you can simply add the following
    line to your pro file:

    \code
        LIBS += -lqassistantclient
    \endcode

    See also "Adding Documentation to Qt Assistant" in the \link
    assistant.book Qt Assistant manual\endlink.

    \fn void QAssistantClient::assistantClosed()

    This signal is emitted when the connection to Qt Assistant is
    closed. This happens when the user exits Qt Assistant, or when an
    error in the server or client occurs, or if closeAssistant() is
    called.

    explanation of the error.
