- * Provides backwards compatibility when updating exported functions.
- * When a symol is exported from a library to provide an API, it also provides a
- * calling convention (ABI) that is embodied in its name, return type,
- * arguments, etc.  On occasion that function may need to change to accommodate
- * new functionality, behavior, etc.  When that occurs, it is desirable to
- * allow for backwards compatibility for a time with older binaries that are
- * dynamically linked to the dpdk.  To support that, the __vsym and
- * VERSION_SYMBOL macros are created.  They, in conjunction with the
- * <library>_version.map file for a given library allow for multiple versions of
- * a symbol to exist in a shared library so that older binaries need not be
- * immediately recompiled.
- *
- * Refer to the guidelines document in the docs subdirectory for details on the
- * use of these macros
