+/**
+ * @file confdecl.h
+ * @brief Macros for generating a configuration struct from a list
+ * of its individual fields.
+ *
+ * This header defines three important macros: BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(),
+ * END_CONF_STRUCT(), and CONF_VAR(). They're meant to be used together to
+ * define a configuration structure and the means for encoding and decoding
+ * it.
+ *
+ * To use them, make a new header with a name like `MOD_options.inc`. Start
+ * it with a BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(), then define your variables with CONF_VAR(),
+ * then end the header with END_CONF_STRUCT(), as in:
+ *
+ * BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(module_options_t)
+ * CONF_VAR(ModuleIsActive, BOOLEAN, 0, "1")
+ * END_CONF_STRUCT(module_options_t)
+ *
+ * Once you've done that, you can use that header to define a configuration
+ * structure by saying:
+ *
+ * typedef struct module_options_t module_options_t;
+ * #define CONF_CONTEXT STRUCT
+ * #include "MOD_options.inc"
+ * #undef CONF_CONTEXT
+ *
+ * And you can define your field definition table by saying:
+ *
+ * #define CONF_CONTEXT TABLE
+ * #include "MOD_options.inc"
+ * #undef CONF_CONTEXT
+ *
+ * The two above snippets will define a structure called `module_options_t`
+ * with appropriate members, and a table of config_var_t objects called
+ * `module_options_t_vars[]`.
+ *
+ * For lower-level modules, you can say <tt>\#define CONF_TABLE LL_TABLE</tt>,
+ * and get a table definition suitable for use in modules that are at a lower
+ * level than lib/confmgt. Note that the types for these tables cannot
+ * include any extended types.

+@page configuration Configuration options and persistent state
+
+@tableofcontents
+
+## Introduction
+
+Tor uses a shared, table-driven mechanism to handle its
+configuration (torrc) files and its state files. Each module can
+declare a set of named fields for these files, and get notified
+whenever the configuration changes, or when the state is about to be
+flushed to disk.
+
+## Declaring options
+
+Most modules will only need to use the macros in confdecl.h to
+declare a configuration or state structure.
+
+You'll write something like this:
+
+ // my_module_config.inc
+ BEGIN_CONF_STRUCT(module_options_t)
+ CONF_VAR(FieldOne, INT, 0, "7")
+ CONF_VAR(FieldTwo, STRING, 0, NULL)
+ END_CONF_STRUCT(module_options_t)
+
+The above example will result in a structure called module_config_t
+with two fields: one an integer called FieldOne and one a string
+called FieldTwo. The integer gets a default value of 7; the
+string's default value is NULL.
+
+After making a definition file like that, you include it twice: once
+in a header, after saying \#define CONF_CONTEXT STRUCT, and once in
+a C file, after saying \#define CONF_CONTEXT TABLE. The first time
+defines a module_options_t structure, and the second time defines a
+table that tells the configuration manager how to use it.
+
+Using the table, you declare a `const` config_format_t, which
+associates the fields with a set of functions for validating and
+normalizing them, a list of abbreviations and deprecations, and
+other features.
+
+See confdecl.h and conftypes.h for more information. For example
+usage, see crypto_options.inc or mainloop_state.inc.
+
+## Getting notifications
+
+After using those macros, you must tell the subsystem management
+code about your module's configuration/state.
+
+If you're writing configuration code, you'll need a function that receives
+the configuration object, and acts upon it. This function needs to be safe
+to call multiple times, since Tor will reconfigure its subsystems whenever it
+re-reads the torrc, gets a configuration change from a controller, or
+restarts in process. This function goes in your subsystem's
+subsys_fns_t.set_options field.
+
+If you're writing state code, you'll need a function that receives
+state (subsys_fns_t.set_state), and a function that flushes the
+application state into a state object (subsys_fns_t.flush_state).
+The `set_state` function will be called once (@ref config_once_per
+"1") when Tor is starting, whereas the `flush_state` function will
+be called whenever Tor is about to save the state to disk.
+
+See subsys_fns_t for more information here, and \ref initialization
+for more information about initialization and subsystems in general.
+
+> @anchor config_once_per 1. Technically, state is set once _per startup_.
+> Remember that Tor can be stopped and started multiple times in
+> the same process. If this happens, then your set_state() function
+> is called once every time Tor starts.
+
+## How it works
+
+The common logic used to handle configuration and state files lives
+in @refdir{lib/confmgt}. At the highest level, a configuration
+manager object (config_mgr_t) maintains a list of each module's
+configuration objects, and a list of all their fields. When the
+user specifies a configuration value, the manager finds out how to
+parse it, where to store it, and which configuration object is
+affected.
+
+The top-level configuration module (config.c) and state module
+(statefile.c) use config_mgr_t to create, initialize, set, compare,
+and free a "top level configuration object". This object contains a
+list of sub-objects: one for each module that participates in the
+configuration/state system. This top-level code then invokes the
+subsystem manager code (subsysmgr.c) to pass the corresponding
+configuration or state objects to each module that has one.
+
+Note that the top level code does not have easy access to the
+configuration objects used by the sub-modules. This is by design. A
+module _may_ expose some or all of its configuration or state object via
+accessor functions, if it likes, but if it does not, that object should
+be considered module-local.
+
+## Adding new types
+
+Configuration and state fields each have a "type". These types
+specify how the fields' values are represented in C; how they are
+stored in files; and how they are encoded back and forth.
+
+There is a set of built-in types listed in conftypes.h, but
+higher-level code can define its own types. To do so, you make an
+instance of var_type_fns_t that describes how to manage your type,
+and an instance of var_type_def_t that wraps your var_type_fns_t
+with a name and optional parameters and flags.
+
+For an example of how a higher-level type is defined, see
+ROUTERSET_type_defn in routerset.c. Also see the typedef
+`config_decl_ROUTERSET`. Together, these let the routerset type be
+used with the macros in confdecl.h.
+
+## Legacy configuration and state
+
+As of this writing (November 2019), most of the configuration and state is
+still handled directly in config.c and statefile.c, and stored in the
+monolithic structures or_options_t and or_state_t respectively.
+
+These top-level structures are accessed with get_options() and
+get_state(), and used throughout much of the code, at the level of
+@refdir{core} and higher.
+
+With time we hope to refactor this configuration into more
+reasonable pieces, so that they are no longer (effectively) global
+variables used throughout the code.
