+/**
+ * @class ACE_Copy_Disabled
+ *
+ * @brief Helper class to disable copy construction and assignment
+ *
+ * Classes used to control OS and other resources are not "canonical",
+ * i.e. they have their copy constructor and assignment operators
+ * disabled.
+ * This is often done by making the copy constructor and assignment
+ * operators private, effectively disallowing copying by clients of
+ * the class (including derived classes).  If the copy constructor and
+ * assingment operators are left unimplemented then the class itself
+ * cannot make any copies of its instances, because it would result in
+ * link errors.
+ *
+ * To use this class simply use private inheritance:
+ *
+ * class Foo : private ACE_Copy_Disabled
+ * {
+ * // code here
+ * };
+ *
