* @brief XBT synchronization tools
*
- * This section describes the XBT synchronization tools. It defines types and
- * functions very close to the pthread API, but widly usable. When used from
- * the simulator, you will lock simulated processes as expected. When used
- * from GRAS programs compiled for in-situ execution, you have synchronization
- * mecanism portable to windows and UNIX. Nice, isn't it?
+ * This section describes the XBT synchronization tools.
+ * This is a portability layer (for windows and UNIX) of a pthread-like API. Nice, isn't it?
