+/*! \file isc/backtrace.h
+ * \brief provide a back trace of the running process to help debug problems.
+ *
+ * This module tries to get a back trace of the process using some platform
+ * dependent way when available. It also manages an internal symbol table
+ * that maps function addresses used in the process to their textual symbols.
+ * This module is expected to be used to help debug when some fatal error
+ * happens.
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT NOTE: since the (major) intended use case of this module is
+ * dumping a back trace on a fatal error, normally followed by self termination,
+ * functions defined in this module generally doesn't employ assertion checks
+ * (if it did, a program bug could cause infinite recursive calls to a
+ * backtrace function). These functions still perform minimal checks and return
+ * ISC_R_FAILURE if they detect an error, but the caller should therefore be
+ * very careful about the use of these functions, and generally discouraged to
+ * use them except in an exit path. The exception is
+ * isc_backtrace_getsymbolfromindex(), which is expected to be used in a
+ * non-error-handling context and validates arguments with assertion checks.
