+# The `stdlib_kinds` module
+
+[TOC]
+
+## Introduction
+
+The `stdlib_kinds` module provides kind parameters for the Fortran intrinsic data types,
+*integer*, *logical*, *real*, and *complex*.
+
+
+## Constants provided by `stdlib_kinds`
+
+### `sp`
+
+Alias for intrinsic named constant `real32` imported from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `dp`
+
+Alias for intrinsic named constant `real64` imported from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `qp`
+
+Alias for intrinsic named constant `real128` imported from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `int8`
+
+Reexported intrinsic named constant `int8` from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `int16`
+
+Reexported intrinsic named constant `int16` from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `int32`
+
+Reexported intrinsic named constant `int32` from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `int64`
+
+Reexported intrinsic named constant `int64` from `iso_fortran_env`.
+
+
+### `lk`
+
+Kind parameter of the default logical data type.
+
+
+### `c_bool`
+
+Reexported intrinsic named constant `c_bool` from `iso_c_binding`.
