-/* XXX: DOCDOC once framework is stable. */
+/*
+ * A tracepoint signature is defined as follow:
+ *
+ *    tor_trace(<subsystem>, <event_name>, <args>...)
+ *
+ * If tracing is enabled, the tor_trace() macro is mapped to all possible
+ * instrumentations (defined below). Each instrumentation type MUST define a
+ * top level macro (TOR_TRACE_<type>) so it can be inserted into each
+ * tracepoint.
+ *
+ * In case no tracing is enabled (HAVE_TRACING), tracepoints are NOP and thus
+ * have no execution cost.
+ *
+ * Currently, three types of instrumentation are supported:
+ *
+ *  log-debug: Every tracepoints is mapped to a log_debug() statement.
+ *
+ *  User Statically-Defined Tracing (USDT): Probes that can be used with perf,
+ *  dtrace, SystemTap, DTrace and BPF Compiler Collection (BCC).
+ *
+ *  LTTng-UST: Probes for the LTTng Userspace Tracer. If USDT interface
+ *  (sdt.h) is available, the USDT probes are also generated by LTTng thus
+ *  enabling this instrumentation provides both probes.
