+/** \page core Public core API for Tox clients.
+ *
+ * Every function that can fail takes a function-specific error code pointer
+ * that can be used to diagnose problems with the Tox state or the function
+ * arguments. The error code pointer can be NULL, which does not influence the
+ * function's behaviour, but can be done if the reason for failure is irrelevant
+ * to the client.
+ *
+ * The exception to this rule are simple allocation functions whose only failure
+ * mode is allocation failure. They return NULL in that case, and do not set an
+ * error code.
+ *
+ * Every error code type has an OK value to which functions will set their error
+ * code value on success. Clients can keep their error code uninitialised before
+ * passing it to a function. The library guarantees that after returning, the
+ * value pointed to by the error code pointer has been initialised.
+ *
+ * Functions with pointer parameters often have a NULL error code, meaning they
+ * could not perform any operation, because one of the required parameters was
+ * NULL. Some functions operate correctly or are defined as effectless on NULL.
+ *
+ * Some functions additionally return a value outside their
+ * return type domain, or a bool containing true on success and false on
+ * failure.
+ *
+ * All functions that take a Tox instance pointer will cause undefined behaviour
+ * when passed a NULL Tox pointer.
+ *
+ * All integer values are expected in host byte order.
+ *
+ * Functions with parameters with enum types cause unspecified behaviour if the
+ * enumeration value is outside the valid range of the type. If possible, the
+ * function will try to use a sane default, but there will be no error code,
+ * and one possible action for the function to take is to have no effect.
+ */
+
+/** \subsection events Events and callbacks
+ *
+ * Events are handled by callbacks. One callback can be registered per event.
+ * All events have a callback function type named `tox_${event}_cb` and a
+ * function to register it named `tox_callback_${event}`. Passing a NULL
+ * callback will result in no callback being registered for that event. Only
+ * one callback per event can be registered, so if a client needs multiple
+ * event listeners, it needs to implement the dispatch functionality itself.

+/** \subsection threading Threading implications
+ *
+ * It is possible to run multiple concurrent threads with a Tox instance for
+ * each thread. It is also possible to run all Tox instances in the same thread.
+ * A common way to run Tox (multiple or single instance) is to have one thread
+ * running a simple tox_iteration loop, sleeping for tox_iteration_time
+ * milliseconds on each iteration.
+ *
+ * If you want to access a single Tox instance from multiple threads, access
+ * to the instance must be synchronised. While multiple threads can concurrently
+ * access multiple different Tox instances, no more than one API function can
+ * operate on a single instance at any given time.
+ *
+ * Functions that write to variable length byte arrays will always have a size
+ * function associated with them. The result of this size function is only valid
+ * until another mutating function (one that takes a pointer to non-const Tox)
+ * is called. Thus, clients must ensure that no other thread calls a mutating
+ * function between the call to the size function and the call to the retrieval
+ * function.
+ *
+ * E.g. to get the current nickname, one would write
+ *
+ * \code
+ * size_t length = tox_self_get_name_size(tox);
+ * uint8_t *name = malloc(length);
+ * if (!name) abort();
+ * tox_self_get_name(tox, name);
+ * \endcode
+ *
+ * If any other thread calls tox_self_set_name while this thread is allocating
+ * memory, the length will have become invalid, and the call to
+ * tox_self_get_name may cause undefined behaviour.
