+ * and connected to other parts of Tor.
+ *
+ * All callbacks are optional -- if a callback is set to NULL, the subsystem
+ * manager will treat it as a no-op.
+ *
+ * You should use c99 named-field initializers with this structure, for
+ * readability and safety. (There are a lot of functions here, all of them
+ * optional, and many of them with similar signatures.)
+ *
+ * See @ref initialization for more information about initialization and
+ * shutdown in Tor.
+ *
+ * To make a new subsystem, you declare a const instance of this type, and
+ * include it on the list in subsystem_list.c. The code that manages these
+ * subsystems is in subsysmgr.c.
