+ * This file defines two symbols that need to be exported to use the TFLite external delegate provider. This is a plugin
+ * that can be used for fast integration of delegates into benchmark tests and other tools. It allows loading of
+ * a dynamic delegate library at runtime.
+ *
+ * The external delegate also has Tensorflow Lite Python bindings. Therefore the dynamic external delegate
+ * can be directly used with Tensorflow Lite Python APIs.
+ *
+ * See tensorflow/lite/delegates/external for details or visit the tensorflow guide
+ * [here](https://www.tensorflow.org/lite/performance/implementing_delegate#option_2_leverage_external_delegate)
