  1. ABI testing symbols
  2. ===================
  3. Documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
  4. as the main development of this interface has been completed.
  5. The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
  6. current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
  7. errors or security problems are found in them.
  8. Userspace programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must
  9. be aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
  10. be marked stable.
  11. Programs that use these interfaces are strongly encouraged to add their
  12. name to the description of these interfaces, so that the kernel
  13. developers can easily notify them if any changes occur.
