+
+
+Plugins can pre-process the |dap-configuration| whenever a debug session
+starts.
+
+To do so, register a `on_config` hook in the `dap.listeners.on_config` table.
+
+The key for the table is a `plugin-id`. Plugins should use their plugin name.
+Do _not_ use the `dap.` namespace. It is reserved for nvim-dap itself.
+
+The value for the table is a function that takes a |dap-configuration| as
+parameter and must return a |dap-configuration|.
+
+Before making modifications to the config you should copy it, to ensure you
+don't make permanent changes to a configuration stored within
+`dap.configrations.<filetype>` via mutations.
+
+Example:
+>lua
+  local dap = require("dap")
+  dap.listeners.on_config["dummy-noop"] = function(config)
+    return vim.deepcopy(config)
+  end
+<
+To support async operations, the on_config functions are called within a
+coroutine.
+
+This functionality should only be used by plugins that implement generic
+functionality applicable for all or most configurations.
+If you are writing a plugin that already owns an adapter definition, you
+should prefer using the `enrich_config` function available in |dap-adapter|.
+If you are not owning the adapter definition but the plugin's functionality is
+still specific to a limited selection of adapters, please make sure you're not
+messing with configurations used with adapters foreign to your plugin.
