 /*
- * In order to disable compatibility API for a range of soname major
- * versions, define LTTNG_UST_COMPAT_API_VERSION to the oldest major
- * version API for which to provide compatibility.
+ * The compat API version controls backward API compatibility at the
+ * source-code level.
+ *
+ * In order to disable compatibility API for a range of API versions, define
+ * LTTNG_UST_COMPAT_API_VERSION to the oldest API version for which to provide
+ * compatibility.
  *
  * If LTTNG_UST_COMPAT_API_VERSION is undefined, API compatibility for
  * all API versions is provided.
  * If LTTNG_UST_COMPAT_API_VERSION is defined to N, API compatibility
- * for soname N or higher is provided, leaving out (not compiling)
- * compatibility for soname lower than N.
+ * for versions N or higher is provided, thus not defining compatibility macros
+ * for versions lower than N.
