+/*! \file isc/symtab.h
+ * \brief Provides a simple memory-based symbol table.
+ *
+ * Keys are C strings, and key comparisons are case-insensitive. A type may
+ * be specified when looking up, defining, or undefining. A type value of
+ * 0 means "match any type"; any other value will only match the given
+ * type.
+ *
+ * It's possible that a client will attempt to define a <key, type, value>
+ * tuple when a tuple with the given key and type already exists in the table.
+ * What to do in this case is specified by the client. Possible policies are:
+ *
+ *\li #isc_symexists_reject Disallow the define, returning #ISC_R_EXISTS
+ *\li #isc_symexists_replace Replace the old value with the new. The
+ * undefine action (if provided) will be called
+ * with the old <key, type, value> tuple.
+ *\li #isc_symexists_add Add the new tuple, leaving the old tuple in
+ * the table. Subsequent lookups will retrieve
+ * the most-recently-defined tuple.
+ *
+ * A lookup of a key using type 0 will return the most-recently defined
+ * symbol with that key. An undefine of a key using type 0 will undefine the
+ * most-recently defined symbol with that key. Trying to define a key with
+ * type 0 is illegal.
+ *
+ * The symbol table library does not make a copy the key field, so the
+ * caller must ensure that any key it passes to isc_symtab_define() will not
+ * change until it calls isc_symtab_undefine() or isc_symtab_destroy().
+ *
+ * A user-specified action will be called (if provided) when a symbol is
+ * undefined. It can be used to free memory associated with keys and/or
+ * values.
+ *
+ * A symbol table is implemented as a hash table of lists; the size of the
+ * hash table is set by the 'size' parameter to isc_symtbl_create(). When
+ * the number of entries in the symbol table reaches three quarters of this
+ * value, the hash table is reallocated with size doubled, in order to
+ * optimize lookup performance. This has a negative effect on insertion
+ * performance, which can be mitigated by sizing the table appropriately
+ * when creating it.
+ *
+ * \li MP:
+ * The callers of this module must ensure any required synchronization.
+ *
+ * \li Reliability:
+ * No anticipated impact.
+ *
+ * \li Resources:
+ * TBS
+ *
+ * \li Security:
+ * No anticipated impact.
+ *
+ * \li Standards:
+ * None.
