+.Nd stack macros
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.Ft type
+.Fn STACK_ALLOC "sp" "size"
+.Ft type
+.Fn STACK_MAX "sp" "size"
+.Ft type
+.Fn STACK_ALIGN "sp" "bytes"
+.Ft type
+.Fn STACK_GROW "sp" "size"
+.Ft type
+.Fn STACK_SHRINK "sp" "size"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+A stack is an area of memory with a fixed origin but with a variable size.
+A stack pointer points to the most recently referenced location on the stack.
+Initially, when the stack has a size of zero,
+the stack pointer points to the origin of the stack.
+When data items are added to the stack,
+the stack pointer moves away from the origin.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn STACK_ALLOC
+macro returns a pointer to allocated stack space of some
+.Fa size .
+Given the returned pointer
+.Fa sp
+and
+.Fa size ,
+.Fn STACK_MAX
+returns the maximum stack address of the allocated stack space.
+The
+.Fn STACK_ALIGN
+macro can be used to align the stack pointer
+.Fa sp
+by the specified amount of
+.Fa bytes .
+.Pp
+Two basic operations are common to all stacks:
+a data item is added
+.Pq Dq push
+to the location pointed by
+.Fa sp
+or a data item is removed
+.Pq Dq pop
+from the stack.
+The stack pointer must be subsequently adjusted by the size of the data item.
+The
+.Fn STACK_GROW
+and
+.Fn STACK_SHRINK
+macros adjust the stack pointer
+.Fa sp
+by given
+.Fa size .
+.Pp
+A stack may grow either up or down.
+The described macros take this into account by using the
+.Dv __MACHINE_STACK_GROWS_UP
+preprocessor define.
