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;
};
