-/*
- * An event-based (Postgre)SQL client API using libevent
+/**
+ * @file src/evsql.h
+ *
+ * A SQL library designed for use with libevent and PostgreSQL's libpq. Provides support for queueing non-transactional
+ * requests, transaction support, parametrized queries and result iteration.
+ *
+ * Currently, the API does not expose the underlying libpq data structures, but since it is currently the only
+ * underlying implementation, there is no guarantee that the same API will actually work with other databases' interface
+ * libraries...
+ *
+ * The order of function calls and callbacks goes something like this:
+ *
+ * - evsql_new_pq()
+ *
+ * - evsql_trans()
+ * - evsql_trans_abort()
+ * - evsql_trans_error_cb()
+ * - evsql_trans_ready_cb()
+ *
+ * - evsql_query(), \ref evsql_param_ + evsql_query_params(), evsql_query_exec()
+ * - evsql_query_abort()
+ * - evsql_query_cb()
+ * - \ref evsql_result_
+ * - evsql_result_free()
+ *
+ * - evsql_trans_commit()
+ * - evsql_trans_done_cb()
