+    This pragma is used to prevent multiple inclusion of a header file.
+    If this pragma is preprocessed in a file, any posterior
+    <tt>#include<tt> which targets the current file will be ignored.
+
+    Two files are considered to be the same by this directive if they
+    share the same absolute path. In the case of symbolic links,
+    the canonical, resolved path is considered instead.
