+The ``sentinel`` attribute can be applied to variadic functions and pointers to
+variadic functions, to diagnose each function call that does not pass a
+sentinel value (a null pointer constant) as the last argument to the function
+call. The attribute accepts two optional arguments: the first argument is the
+position of the expected sentinel value, starting from the last parameter. The
+second argument describes whether the last fixed parameter is treated as a
+valid sentinel value when set to '1'.
+All arguments described above defaults to '0' when elided.
