 To mark an API as experimental, the symbols which are desired to be exported
 must be placed in an EXPERIMENTAL version block in the corresponding libraries'
 version map script.
-Secondly, the corresponding definitions of those exported functions, and
-their forward declarations (in the development header files), must be marked
-with the ``__rte_experimental`` tag (see ``rte_compat.h``).
+Secondly, the corresponding prototypes of those exported functions (in the
+development header files), must be marked with the ``__rte_experimental`` tag
+(see ``rte_compat.h``).
 The DPDK build makefiles perform a check to ensure that the map file and the
 C code reflect the same list of symbols.
 This check can be circumvented by defining ``ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_API``
