@@ -42,6 +42,14 @@ The module defines the following functions:
:term:`file <file object>` or :term:`file-like object` to
receive the output.
+ .. note::
+
+ The meaning of the *limit* parameter is different than the meaning
+ of :const:`sys.tracebacklimit`. A negative *limit* value corresponds to
+ a positive value of :const:`!sys.tracebacklimit`, whereas the behaviour
of
+ a positive *limit* value cannot be achieved with
+ :const:`!sys.tracebacklimit`.

.. versionchanged:: 3.5
Added negative *limit* support.
