+\h#c-objc|Objective-C Compilation|
+
+The \c{c} module provides the \c{c.objc} submodules which can be loaded in
+order to register the \c{m{\}} target type and enable Objective-C compilation
+in the \c{C} compile rule. Note that \c{c.objc} must be loaded after the \c{c}
+module and while the \c{m{\}} target type is registered unconditionally,
+compilation is only enabled if the C compiler supports Objective-C for the
+target platform. Typical usage:
+
+\
+# root.build
+#
+using c
+using c.objc
+\
+
+\
+# buildfile
+#
+lib{hello}: {h c}{*}
+lib{hello}: m{*}: include = ($c.target.class == 'macos')
+\
+
+Note also that while there is support for linking Objective-C executables and
+libraries, this is done using the C compiler driver and no attempt is made to
+automatically link any necessary Objective-C runtime library (such as
+\c{-lobjc}).
