autoload()
autoload() : \Composer\Autoload\ClassLoader
findVendorPath(string $baseDir = __DIR__) : string
Attempts to find the location of the vendor folder.
This method tries to check for a autoload.php in a directory 4 levels above the folder of this Bootstrap file. This is the expected location if phpDocumentor is installed using composer because the current directory for this file is expected to be 'vendor/phpdocumentor/phpdocumentor/src/phpDocumentor'. This approach will work independently from the name of the vendor directory.
If not found, it will get the value of a {@link https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-vendor-dir} and use it as vendor directory name if not empty.
If it's not specified, it will check if it is a standalone install (e.g. via git) and will look for a composer.json file 2 levels above as we are supposed to be in 'src/phpDocumentor' (The configuration file can be named differently based on the {@link https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer}). If this file contains a {@link https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#vendor-dir}, its value will be used for the vendor directory location.
If none of these has a specified value, it will use the default 'vendor' directory name.
Finally, if the directory doesn't exist, it will throw an exception.

If the vendor directory is not findable.
The vendor directory path
getCustomVendorPathFromComposer(string $composerConfigurationPath) : string
Retrieves the custom vendor directory name from the {@link https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md#composer-vendor-dir COMPOSER_VENDOR_DIR environment variable}, from the {@link https://getcomposer.org/doc/06-config.md#vendor-dir vendor-dir entry} of the given composer.json, or returns 'vendor'.
