+/** \page mainloop Main Loop
+ *
+ * \section overv_sec Overview
+ *
+ * The built-in main loop implementation is based on the poll() system call.
+ * It supports the functions defined in the main loop abstraction and very
+ * little else.
+ *
+ * The main loop is created using pa_mainloop_new() and destroyed using
+ * pa_mainloop_free(). To get access to the main loop abstraction,
+ * pa_mainloop_get_api() is used.
+ *
+ * \section iter_sec Iteration
+ *
+ * The main loop is designed around the concept of iterations. Each iteration
+ * consists of three steps that repeat during the application's entire
+ * lifetime:
+ *
+ * -# Prepare - Build a list of file descriptors
+ * that need to be monitored and calculate the next timeout.
+ * -# Poll - Execute the actual poll() system call.
+ * -# Dispatch - Dispatch any events that have fired.
+ *
+ * When using the main loop, the application can either execute each
+ * iteration, one at a time, using pa_mainloop_iterate(), or let the library
+ * iterate automatically using pa_mainloop_run().
+ *
+ * \section thread_sec Threads
+ *
+ * The main loop functions are designed to be thread safe, but the objects
+ * are not. What this means is that multiple main loops can be used, but only
+ * one object per thread.
+ *
+ */
+
+/** \file
+ *
+ * A minimal main loop implementation based on the C library's poll()
+ * function. Using the routines defined herein you may create a simple
+ * main loop supporting the generic main loop abstraction layer as
+ * defined in \ref mainloop-api.h. This implementation is thread safe
+ * as long as you access the main loop object from a single thread only.
+ *
+ * See also \subpage mainloop
