+.Sh NAME
+.Nm CTASSERT
+.Nd compile time assertion macro
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/param.h
+.In sys/systm.h
+.Fn CTASSERT expression
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn CTASSERT
+macro is deprecated and the C11 standard
+.Fn _Static_assert
+should be used instead.
+The header
+.Fa sys/cdefs.h
+should be included to provide compatibility for pre-C11 compilers.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn CTASSERT
+macro evaluates
+.Fa expression
+at compile time and causes a compiler error if it is false.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn CTASSERT
+macro is useful for asserting the size or alignment of important
+data structures and variables during compilation, which would
+otherwise cause the code to fail at run time.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+Assert that the size of the
+.Vt uuid
+structure is 16 bytes.
+.Pp
+.Dl "CTASSERT(sizeof(struct uuid) == 16);"
