 * @defgroup group_groups 2. Group manipulation API
 * @{
 *
 * @name Basic infrastructure
 * @{
 * <tt>struct cgroup*</tt> is the heart of @c libcgroup API.
 * The structure is opaque to applications, all access to the structure is
 * through appropriate functions.
 *
 * The most important information is that <b> one <tt>struct cgroup*</tt> can
 * represent zero, one or more real control groups in kernel</b>.
 * The <tt>struct cgroup*</tt> is identified by name of the group, which must be
 * set by cgroup_new_cgroup(). Multiple controllers (aka subsystems) can be
 * attached to one <tt>struct cgroup*</tt> using cgroup_add_controller(). These
 * controllers <b>can belong to different hierarchies</b>.
 *
 * This approach is different to the one in the Linux kernel - a control group
 * must be part of exactly one hierarchy there. In @c libcgroup, a group can be
 * part of multiple hierarchies, as long as the group name is the same.
 *
 * @par Example:
 * Let there be following control groups:
 * @code
 * cpu,cpuacct:/
 * cpu,cpuacct:/foo
 * cpu,cpuacct:/bar
 * freezer:/
 * freezer:/foo
 * @endcode
 * I.e. there is @c cpu and @c cpuacct controller mounted together in one
 * hierarchy, with @c foo and @c bar groups. In addition, @c freezer is
 * mounted as separate hierarchy, with only one @c foo group.
 *
 * @par
 * Following code creates <tt>struct cgroup*</tt> structure, which represents
 * one group <tt>cpu,cpuacct:/foo</tt>:
 * @code
 * struct cgroup *foo = cgroup_new_cgroup("foo");
 * cgroup_add_controller(foo, "cpu");
 * @endcode
 * Now, you can call e.g. cgroup_delete_cgroup() and the group is deleted from
 * the hierarchy. You can note that it's enough to add only one controller to
 * the group to fully identify a group in <tt>cpu,cpuacct</tt> hierarchy.
 *
 * @par
 * Following code creates <tt>struct cgroup*</tt> structure, which represents
 * @b two groups, <tt>cpu,cpuacct:/foo</tt> and <tt>freezer:/foo</tt>:
 * @code
 * struct cgroup *foo = cgroup_new_cgroup("foo");
 * cgroup_add_controller(foo, "cpu");
 * cgroup_add_controller(foo, "freezer");
 * @endcode
 * Now, if you call e.g. cgroup_delete_cgroup(), the group gets deleted from
 * @b both hierarchies.
 *
 * @todo add some propaganda what's so great on this approach... I personally
 * think it is broken and confusing (see TODOs below).
 *
 * Following functions are provided to create/destroy various libcgroup
 * structures. Please note that none of these functions actually create or
 * delete a cgroup in kernel!
