+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ctf
+.Nd Compact C Type Format
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/ctf.h
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+is designed to be a compact representation of the C programming
+language's type information focused on serving the needs of dynamic
+tracing, debuggers, and other in-situ and post-mortem introspection
+tools.
+.Nm
+data is generally included in
+.Sy ELF
+objects and is tagged as
+.Sy SHT_PROGBITS
+to ensure that the data is accessible in a running process and in subsequent
+core dumps, if generated.
+.Lp
+The
+.Nm
+data contained in each file has information about the layout and
+sizes of C types, including intrinsic types, enumerations, structures,
+typedefs, and unions, that are used by the corresponding
+.Sy ELF
+object. The
+.Nm
+data may also include information about the types of global objects and
+the return type and arguments of functions in the symbol table.
+.Lp
+Because a
+.Nm
+file is often embedded inside a file, rather than being a standalone
+file itself, it may also be referred to as a
+.Nm
+.Sy container .
+.Lp
+On illumos systems,
+.Nm
+data is consumed by multiple programs. It can be used by the modular
+debugger,
+.Xr mdb 1 ,
+as well as by
+.Xr dtrace 1M .
+Programmatic access to
+.Nm
+data can be obtained through
+.Xr libctf 3LIB .
+.Lp
+The
+.Nm
+file format is broken down into seven different sections. The first
+section is the
+.Sy preamble
+and
+.Sy header ,
+which describes the version of the
+.Nm
+file, links it has to other
+.Nm
+files, and the sizes of the other sections. The next section is the
+.Sy label
+section,
+which provides a way of identifying similar groups of
+.Nm
+data across multiple files. This is followed by the
+.Sy object
+information section, which describes the type of global
+symbols. The subsequent section is the
+.Sy function
+information section, which describes the return
+types and arguments of functions. The next section is the
+.Sy type
+information section, which describes
+the format and layout of the C types themselves, and finally the last
+section is the
+.Sy string
+section, which contains the names of types, enumerations, members, and
+labels.
+.Lp
+While strictly speaking, only the
+.Sy preamble
+and
+.Sy header
+are required, to be actually useful, both the type and string
+sections are necessary.
+.Lp
+A
+.Nm
+file may contain all of the type information that it requires, or it
+may optionally refer to another
+.Nm
+file which holds the remaining types. When a
+.Nm
+file refers to another file, it is called the
+.Sy child
+and the file it refers to is called the
+.Sy parent .
+A given file may only refer to one parent. This process is called
+.Em uniquification
+because it ensures each child only has type information that is
+unique to it. A common example of this is that most kernel modules in
+illumos are uniquified against the kernel module
+.Sy genunix
+and the type information that comes from the
+.Sy IP
+module. This means that a module only has types that are unique to
+itself and the most common types in the kernel are not duplicated.
+.Sh FILE FORMAT
+This documents version
+.Em two
+of the
+.Nm
+file format. All applications and tools currently produce and operate on
+this version.
+.Lp
+The file format can be summarized with the following image, the
+following sections will cover this in more detail.

+.Lp
+Every
+.Nm
+file begins with a
+.Sy preamble ,
+followed by a
+.Sy header .
+The
+.Sy preamble
+is defined as follows:
+.Bd -literal
+typedef struct ctf_preamble {
+ ushort_t ctp_magic; /* magic number (CTF_MAGIC) */
+ uchar_t ctp_version; /* data format version number (CTF_VERSION) */
+ uchar_t ctp_flags; /* flags (see below) */
+} ctf_preamble_t;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The
+.Sy preamble
+is four bytes long and must be four byte aligned.
+This
+.Sy preamble
+defines the version of the
+.Nm
+file which defines the format of the rest of the header. While the
+header may change in subsequent versions, the preamble will not change
+across versions, though the interpretation of its flags may change from
+version to version. The
+.Em ctp_magic
+member defines the magic number for the
+.Nm
+file format. This must always be
+.Li 0xcff1 .
+If another value is encountered, then the file should not be treated as
+a
+.Nm
+file. The
+.Em ctp_version
+member defines the version of the
+.Nm
+file. The current version is
+.Li 2 .
+It is possible to encounter an unsupported version. In that case,
+software should not try to parse the format, as it may have changed.
+Finally, the
+.Em ctp_flags
+member describes aspects of the file which modify its interpretation.
+The following flags are currently defined:
+.Bd -literal
+#define CTF_F_COMPRESS 0x01
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The flag
+.Sy CTF_F_COMPRESS
+indicates that the body of the
+.Nm
+file, all the data following the
+.Sy header ,
+has been compressed through the
+.Sy zlib
+library and its
+.Sy deflate
+algorithm. If this flag is not present, then the body has not been
+compressed and no special action is needed to interpret it. All offsets
+into the data as described by
+.Sy header ,
+always refer to the
+.Sy uncompressed
+data.
+.Lp
+In version two of the
+.Nm
+file format, the
+.Sy header
+denotes whether whether or not this
+.Nm
+file is the child of another
+.Nm
+file and also indicates the size of the remaining sections. The
+structure for the
+.Sy header ,
+logically contains a copy of the
+.Sy preamble
