+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        self: _ARR_C
+            array instance.
+        stream: Optional[Union[int, Any]]
+            for CUDA and ROCm, a Python integer representing a pointer to a stream, on devices that support streams. ``stream`` is provided by the consumer to the producer to instruct the producer to ensure that operations can safely be performed on the array (e.g., by inserting a dependency between streams via "wait for event"). The pointer must be an integer larger than or equal to ``-1`` (see below for allowed values on each platform). If ``stream`` is ``-1``, the value may be used by the consumer to signal "producer must not perform any synchronization". The ownership of the stream stays with the consumer. On CPU and other device types without streams, only ``None`` is accepted.
+
+            For other device types which do have a stream, queue, or similar synchronization/ordering mechanism, the most appropriate type to use for ``stream`` is not yet determined. E.g., for SYCL one may want to use an object containing an in-order ``cl::sycl::queue``. This is allowed when libraries agree on such a convention, and may be standardized in a future version of this API standard.
+
+            .. note::
+                Support for a ``stream`` value other than ``None`` is optional and implementation-dependent.
+
+            Device-specific values of ``stream`` for CUDA:
+
+            - ``None``: producer must assume the legacy default stream (default).
+            - ``1``: the legacy default stream.
+            - ``2``: the per-thread default stream.
+            - ``> 2``: stream number represented as a Python integer.
+            - ``0`` is disallowed due to its ambiguity: ``0`` could mean either ``None``, ``1``, or ``2``.
+
+            Device-specific values of ``stream`` for ROCm:
+
+            - ``None``: producer must assume the legacy default stream (default).
+            - ``0``: the default stream.
+            - ``> 2``: stream number represented as a Python integer.
+            - Using ``1`` and ``2`` is not supported.
+
+            .. note::
+                When ``dl_device`` is provided explicitly, ``stream`` must be a valid
+                construct for the specified device type. In particular, when ``kDLCPU``
+                is in use, ``stream`` must be ``None`` and a synchronization must be
+                performed to ensure data safety.
+
+            .. admonition:: Tip
+                :class: important
+
+                It is recommended that implementers explicitly handle streams. If
+                they use the legacy default stream, specifying ``1`` (CUDA) or ``0``
+                (ROCm) is preferred. ``None`` is a safe default for developers who do
+                not want to think about stream handling at all, potentially at the
+                cost of more synchronizations than necessary.
+        max_version: Optional[tuple[int, int]]
+            the maximum DLPack version that the *consumer* (i.e., the caller of
+            ``__dlpack__``) supports, in the form of a 2-tuple ``(major, minor)``.
+            This method may return a capsule of version ``max_version`` (recommended
+            if it does support that), or of a different version.
+            This means the consumer must verify the version even when
+            `max_version` is passed.
+        dl_device: Optional[tuple[enum.Enum, int]]
+            the DLPack device type. Default is ``None``, meaning the exported capsule
+            should be on the same device as ``self`` is. When specified, the format
+            must be a 2-tuple, following that of the return value of :meth:`array.__dlpack_device__`.
+            If the device type cannot be handled by the producer, this function must
+            raise ``BufferError``.
+
+            The v2023.12 standard only mandates that a compliant library should offer a way for
+            ``__dlpack__`` to return a capsule referencing an array whose underlying memory is
+            accessible to the Python interpreter (represented by the ``kDLCPU`` enumerator in DLPack).
+            If a copy must be made to enable this support but ``copy`` is set to ``False``, the
+            function must raise ``BufferError``.
+
+            Other device kinds will be considered for standardization in a future version of this
+            API standard.
+        copy: Optional[bool]
+            boolean indicating whether or not to copy the input. If ``True``, the
+            function must always copy (performed by the producer; see also :ref:`copy-keyword-argument`). If ``False``, the
+            function must never copy, and raise a ``BufferError`` in case a copy is
+            deemed necessary (e.g. if a cross-device data movement is requested, and
+            it is not possible without a copy). If ``None``, the function must reuse
+            the existing memory buffer if possible and copy otherwise. Default: ``None``.
+
+            When a copy happens, the ``DLPACK_FLAG_BITMASK_IS_COPIED`` flag must be set.
+
+            .. note::
+                If a copy happens, and if the consumer-provided ``stream`` and ``dl_device``
+                can be understood by the producer, the copy must be performed over ``stream``.
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        capsule: PyCapsule
+            a DLPack capsule for the array. See :ref:`data-interchange` for details.
+
+        Raises
+        ------
+        BufferError
+            Implementations should raise ``BufferError`` when the data cannot
+            be exported as DLPack (e.g., incompatible dtype or strides). Other
+            errors are raised when export fails for other reasons (e.g., incorrect
+            arguments passed or out of memory).
+
+        Notes
+        -----
+        The DLPack version scheme is SemVer, where the major DLPack versions
+        represent ABI breaks, and minor versions represent ABI-compatible additions
+        (e.g., new enum values for new data types or device types).
+
+        The ``max_version`` keyword was introduced in v2023.12, and goes
+        together with the ``DLManagedTensorVersioned`` struct added in DLPack
+        1.0. This keyword may not be used by consumers until a later time after
+        introduction, because producers may implement the support at a different
+        point in time.
+
+        It is recommended for the producer to use this logic in the implementation
+        of ``__dlpack__``:
+
+        .. code:: python
+
+            if max_version is None:
+                # Keep and use the DLPack 0.X implementation
+                # Note: from March 2025 onwards (but ideally as late as
+                # possible), it's okay to raise BufferError here
+            else:
+                # We get to produce `DLManagedTensorVersioned` now. Note that
+                # our_own_dlpack_version is the max version that the *producer*
+                # supports and fills in the `DLManagedTensorVersioned::version`
+                # field
+                if max_version >= our_own_dlpack_version:
+                    # Consumer understands us, just return a Capsule with our max version
+                elif max_version[0] == our_own_dlpack_version[0]:
+                    # major versions match, we should still be fine here -
+                    # return our own max version
+                else:
+                    # if we're at a higher major version internally, did we
+                    # keep an implementation of the older major version around?
+                    # For example, if the producer is on DLPack 1.x and the consumer
+                    # is 0.y, can the producer still export a capsule containing
+                    # DLManagedTensor and not DLManagedTensorVersioned?
+                    # If so, use that. Else, the producer should raise a BufferError
+                    # here to tell users that the consumer's max_version is too
+                    # old to allow the data exchange to happen.
+
+        And this logic for the consumer in :func:`~array_api.from_dlpack`:
+
+        .. code:: python
+
+            try:
+                x.__dlpack__(max_version=(1, 0), ...)
+                # if it succeeds, store info from the capsule named "dltensor_versioned",
+                # and need to set the name to "used_dltensor_versioned" when we're done
+            except TypeError:
+                x.__dlpack__(...)
+
+        This logic is also applicable to handling of the new ``dl_device`` and ``copy``
+        keywords.
+
+        DLPack 1.0 added a flag to indicate that the array is read-only
+        (``DLPACK_FLAG_BITMASK_READ_ONLY``). A consumer that does not support
+        read-only arrays should ignore this flag (this is preferred over
+        raising an exception; the user is then responsible for ensuring the
+        memory isn't modified).
+
+        .. versionchanged:: 2022.12
+           Added BufferError.
+
+        .. versionchanged:: 2023.12

+
+        .. versionchanged:: 2024.12
