+PRBool
+======
+
+Boolean value.
+
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+.. code::
+
+ #include <prtypes.h>
+
+ typedef enum { PR_FALSE = 0, PR_TRUE = 1 } PRBool;
+
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Wherever possible, do not use PRBool in Mozilla C++ code. Use standard
+C++ ``bool`` instead.
+
+Otherwise, use :ref:`PRBool` for variables and parameter types. Use
+``PR_FALSE`` and ``PR_TRUE`` for clarity of target type in assignments
+and actual arguments. Use ``if (bool)``, ``while (!bool)``,
+``(bool) ? x : y``, and so on to test Boolean values, just as you would
+C ``int``-valued conditions.
