+@brief CTF IR packet.
+
+@code
+#include <babeltrace/ctf-ir/packet.h>
+@endcode
+
+A CTF IR <strong><em>packet</em></strong> is a container of packet
+fields, that is, of the <strong>trace packet header</strong> and
+<strong>stream packet context</strong> fields.
+
+As a reminder, here's the structure of a CTF packet:
+
+@imgpacketstructure
+
+You can create a CTF IR packet \em from a
+\link ctfirstream CTF IR stream\endlink with bt_packet_create(). The
+stream you use to create a packet object becomes its parent.
+
+When you set the trace packet header and stream packet context fields of
+a packet with resp. bt_packet_set_header() and
+bt_packet_set_context(), their field type \em must be equivalent to
+the field types returned by resp. bt_trace_get_packet_header_type()
+and bt_stream_class_get_packet_context_type() for its parent trace
+class and stream class.
+
+You can attach a packet object to a \link ctfirevent CTF IR
+event\endlink object with bt_event_set_packet().
+
+As with any Babeltrace object, CTF IR packet objects have
+<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_counting">reference
+counts</a>. See \ref refs to learn more about the reference counting
+management of Babeltrace objects.
+
+bt_notification_event_create() \em freezes its event parameter on
+success, which in turns freezes the event's associated packet object.
+This is the only way that a CTF IR packet object can be frozen.
+You cannot modify a frozen packet: it is considered immutable,
+except for \link refs reference counting\endlink.
