kernel-doc for structs, unions, enums, and typedefs
|
||||||
|
---------------------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Beside functions you can also write documentation for structs, unions,
|
||||||
|
enums and typedefs. Instead of the function name you must write the name
|
||||||
|
of the declaration; the struct/union/enum/typedef must always precede
|
||||||
|
the name. Nesting of declarations is not supported.
|
||||||
|
Use the argument mechanism to document members or constants.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Inside a struct description, you can use the "private:" and "public:"
|
||||||
|
comment tags. Structure fields that are inside a "private:" area
|
||||||
|
are not listed in the generated output documentation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Example:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
/**
|
||||||
|
* struct my_struct - short description
|
||||||
|
* @a: first member
|
||||||
|
* @b: second member
|
||||||
|
*
|
||||||
|
* Longer description
|
||||||
|
*/
|
||||||
|
struct my_struct {
|
||||||
|
int a;
|
||||||
|
int b;
|
||||||
|
/* private: */
|
||||||
|
int c;
|
||||||
|
};
