3*a3cefe7fSPierre Pronchery=========================
4*a3cefe7fSPierre Pronchery
5*a3cefe7fSPierre ProncheryThe `tuple` module provides key-value mappings backed by a linked list.  The key-value
6*a3cefe7fSPierre Proncherymapping is mainly used for variable substitution when parsing .pc files.
7*a3cefe7fSPierre Pronchery
8*a3cefe7fSPierre ProncheryThere are two sets of mappings: a ``pkgconf_pkg_t`` specific mapping, and a `global` mapping.
9*a3cefe7fSPierre ProncheryThe `tuple` module provides convenience wrappers for managing the `global` mapping, which is
10*a3cefe7fSPierre Proncheryattached to a given client object.

14*a3cefe7fSPierre Pronchery   Defines a global variable, replacing the previous declaration if one was set.
15*a3cefe7fSPierre Pronchery
