 /** \file
- * Routines for daemon introspection. */
+ *
+ * Routines for daemon introspection. When enumerating all entitites
+ * of a certain kind, use the pa_context_xxx_list() functions. The
+ * specified callback function is called once for each entry. The
+ * enumeration is finished by a call to the callback function with
+ * is_last=1 and i=NULL. Strings referenced in pa_xxx_info structures
+ * and the structures themselves point to internal memory that may not
+ * be modified. That memory is only valid during the call to the
+ * callback function. A deep copy is required if you need this data
+ * outside the callback functions. An error is signalled by a call to
+ * the callback function with i=NULL and is_last=0.
+ *
+ * When using the routines that ask fo a single entry only, a callback
+ * with the same signature is used. However, no finishing call to the
+ * routine is issued. */
