+    The distribute construct specifies that the iterations of one or more loop
+    will be executed by the initial teams in the context of their implicit tasks. 
+    The iterations are distributed across the initial threads of all initial teams 
+    that execute the teams region to which the distribute region binds.
+
+    The distribute loop construct specifies that the iterations of the loop(s)
+    will be executed in parallel by threads in the current context. These
+    iterations are spread across threads that already exist in the enclosing
+    region. The lower and upper bounds specify a half-open range: the
+    range includes the lower bound but does not include the upper bound. If the
+    `inclusive` attribute is specified then the upper bound is also included.
+
+
+    `private_var`, `firstprivate_var`, and `lastprivate_var` arguments are variadic 
+    list of operands that specify the data sharing attributes of the list of values
+
+    The optional `dist_schedule_var` attribute specifies the  schedule for this
+    loop, determining how the loop is distributed across the parallel threads.
+    The optional `schedule_chunk` associated with this determines further
+    controls this distribution.
+
+    The optional `collapse` attribute specifies the number of loops which
+    are collapsed to form the distribute loop.
