+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+The traceeval handles mapping keys and values for various events. One common use case
+is to attach two traceevals together via the same keys, and to have one of the values
+be a timestamp. The first event would record the current timestamp and the second
+event would query the traceeval that is used by the first event using the current
+keys to retrieve the timestamp of the event that matches the second event. This
+timestamp would be used to calculate the delta between the current timestamp, and that
+would be saved in another traceeval to record the deltas. This delta value would be
+tagged as a TRACEEVAL_FL_STAT to keep track of the maximum and mimimum deltas along
+with the timestamp of where those occurred.
+
+Since the above is very common, the traceeval_delta is used to facilitate this approach.
+Instead of having two traceevals to handle this situation, a single traceeval_delta
+can be used.
+
+The *traceeval_delta_init()* takes the _keys_ and _vals_ just like *traceeval_init*(3)
+does. The difference is that this function will add two additional values to hold
+a timestamp and the delta. The _keys_ must be something that can match the two events
+that are to be timed. The _vals_ is optional and can accept NULL. If _vals_ is used
+it can be returned by *traceeval_delta_query*(3) and from *traceeval_iterator_query*(3).
+
+The _keys_ and _vals_ passed to *traceeval_delta_init()* must be a static array. If
+dynamically sized arrays are to be required, then *traceeval_delta_init_size()* can be
+used and the caller can pass in _nr_keys_ to denote how many _keys_ are being passed in
+as well as _nr_vals_ to denote how many _vals_ are passed in (0 for NULL).
+
+The *traceeval_delta_release()* frees all the resources of a traceeval_delta created
+by *traceeval_delta_init()* or *traceeval_delta_init_size()*.
+
+The traceeval_delta is for timing between two events, and only the _keys_ and _timestamp_ need
+to be used to do so. When the starting event is found, a call to *traceeval_delta_start()*
+is done passing in the _keys_ that differentiate the event and will map to the stopping event,
+and the _timestamp_ to start the timings. This will be saved in the _tdelta_ that was created
+by one of the *traceeval_delta_init()* functions.
+
+When an ending event is found and a delta is to be recorded from the starting event,
+*traceeval_delta_stop()* is used. Passing the _keys_ that match the starting event
+and a _timestamp_ to calculate the delta, where this timestamp will subtract
+the timestamp passed to *traceeval_delta_start()* or *traceeval_delta_continue()*
+to create the delta between the two and save that in the given _tdelta_.
+
+There's some cases where there may be more than one starting event, and the first
+starting event is to be required for starting the timings and any new starting event
+that happens before an ending event occurs should be ignored. In this case,
+*traceeval_delta_continue()* is used. It acts the same as *traceeval_delta_start()*
+except that if the matching _keys_ have not encountered a *traceeval_delta_stop()*
+since a previous *traceeval_delta_start()* or *traceeval_delta_continue()* then
+the _tdelta_ will not be updated.
+
+To describe one use case for this, if the runtime of a CPU is being recorded,
+and anytime a task is scheduled on the CPU, it is considered a starting event,
+but the delta should be only used when the CPU switches from idle to running a task,
+*traceeval_delta_continue()* can be used whenever a task is scheduled on the CPU
+and *traceeval_delta_stop()* can be used when the CPU goes idle. Only the first
+occurrence of a task scheduling on the CPU will start the timing. If a task
+is scheduled on the CPU when another task was already running, no update should
+be made. If *traceeval_delta_start()* is used, the timestamp of the start event
+will be that of the time the new task came onto the CPU preempting the previous
+task and that would only show the runtime of the last task and not how long the
+CPU itself was running tasks.
+
+The *traceeval_delta_continue()* _keys_ must be a static array, if a dynamic array
+is required then *traceveal_delta_continue_size()* is to be used to specify the
+size of _keys_ with _nr_keys_.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+------------
+The *traceeval_delta_init()* and *traceeval_delta_init_size()* both return a descriptor
+to the traceeval_delta or NULL on error.
+
+The *traceeval_delta_start()*, *traceeval_delta_start_size()*, *traceeval_delta_stop()*,
+*traceeval_delta_stop_size()*, traceeval_delta_continue()* and *traceeval_delta_continue_size()*
+all return 0 on success and -1 on error.
