6  * genbki.h defines CATALOG(), BKI_BOOTSTRAP and related macros
7  * so that the catalog header files can be read by the C compiler.

9  * bootstrap file from these header files.)

101  *
102  * The keyword is DECLARE_FOREIGN_KEY[_OPT] or DECLARE_ARRAY_FOREIGN_KEY[_OPT].
103  * The first argument is a parenthesized list of the referencing columns;
104  * the second, the name of the referenced table; the third, a parenthesized
105  * list of the referenced columns. Use of the ARRAY macros means that the
106  * last referencing column is an array, each of whose elements is supposed
107  * to match some entry in the last referenced column. Use of the OPT suffix
108  * indicates that the referencing column(s) can be zero instead of a valid
109  * reference.
