is intended to be portable to any system with a working C implementation that
at least makes an effort to support C99. The library is thread-safe when
appropriate facilities exist and are enabled at build time.
+.Sh NAMESPACE
+.Nm
+reserves all identifiers beginning with either
+.Li cdecl_
+or
+.Li CDECL_
+in both the tag and ordinary identifier namespaces. All external names
+beginning with
+.Li cdecl_
+are reserved, and the library headers may define object-like macros beginning
+with
+.Li CDECL_ .
+The
+.Nm
+library headers may use other identifiers where they do not pollute the global
+namespaces, such as struct members or function parameter names. Such internal
+identifiers shall not contain any upper-case letters. As these internal
+identifiers can only conflict with object-like macros, this practice is safe as
+long as the convention of defining object-like macros using upper-case letters
+is adhered to.
+.Pp
+External names beginning with
+.Li cdecl
+followed by two consecutive underscores are not considered part of the ABI and
+are thus subject to change at any time.
