# 18/01/2001 - 	Cleanups
# 		Functions prototyped as foo(void) same as foo()
# 		Stop eval'ing where we don't need to.
# -- huggie@earth.li

# 27/06/2001 -  Allowed whitespace after initial "/**" and
#               allowed comments before function declarations.
# -- Christian Kreibich <ck@whoop.org>

# Still to do:
# 	- add perldoc documentation
# 	- Look more closely at some of the scarier bits :)

# 26/05/2001 - 	Support for separate source and object trees.
#		Return error code.
# 		Keith Owens <kaos@ocs.com.au>

# 23/09/2001 - Added support for typedefs, structs, enums and unions
#              Support for Context section; can be terminated using empty line
#              Small fixes (like spaces vs. \s in regex)
# -- Tim Jansen <tim@tjansen.de>

# 25/07/2012 - Added support for HTML5
# -- Dan Luedtke <mail@danrl.de>

#
# This will read a 'c' file and scan for embedded comments in the
# style of gnome comments (+minor extensions - see below).
#

# Note: This only supports 'c'.

# usage:
# kernel-doc [ -docbook | -html | -html5 | -text | -man | -list ]
#            [ -no-doc-sections ]
#            [ -function funcname [ -function funcname ...] ]
#            c file(s)s > outputfile
# or
#            [ -nofunction funcname [ -function funcname ...] ]
#            c file(s)s > outputfile
#
#  Set output format using one of -docbook -html -html5 -text or -man.
#  Default is man.
#  The -list format is for internal use by docproc.
#
#  -no-doc-sections
#	Do not output DOC: sections
#
#  -function funcname
#	If set, then only generate documentation for the given function(s) or
#	DOC: section titles.  All other functions and DOC: sections are ignored.
#
#  -nofunction funcname
#	If set, then only generate documentation for the other function(s)/DOC:
#	sections. Cannot be used together with -function (yes, that's a bug --
#	perl hackers can fix it 8))
#
#  c files - list of 'c' files to process
#
#  All output goes to stdout, with errors to stderr.

#
# format of comments.
# In the following table, (...)? signifies optional structure.
#                         (...)* signifies 0 or more structure elements
# /**
#  * function_name(:)? (- short description)?
# (* @parameterx: (description of parameter x)?)*
# (* a blank line)?
#  * (Description:)? (Description of function)?
#  * (section header: (section description)? )*
#  (*)?*/
#
# So .. the trivial example would be:
#
# /**
#  * my_function
#  */
#
# If the Description: header tag is omitted, then there must be a blank line
# after the last parameter specification.
# e.g.
# /**
#  * my_function - does my stuff
#  * @my_arg: its mine damnit
#  *
#  * Does my stuff explained.
#  */
#
#  or, could also use:
# /**
#  * my_function - does my stuff
#  * @my_arg: its mine damnit
#  * Description: Does my stuff explained.
#  */
# etc.
#
# Besides 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.
# e.g.
# /**
#  * struct my_struct - short description
#  * @a: first member
#  * @b: second member
#  *
#  * Longer description
#  */
# struct my_struct {
#     int a;
#     int b;
# /* private: */
#     int c;
# };
#
# All descriptions can be multiline, except the short function description.
#
# You can also add additional sections. When documenting kernel functions you
# should document the "Context:" of the function, e.g. whether the functions
# can be called form interrupts. Unlike other sections you can end it with an
# empty line.
# A non-void function should have a "Return:" section describing the return
# value(s).
# Example-sections should contain the string EXAMPLE so that they are marked
# appropriately in DocBook.
#
# Example:
# /**
#  * user_function - function that can only be called in user context
#  * @a: some argument
#  * Context: !in_interrupt()
#  *
#  * Some description
#  * Example:
#  *    user_function(22);
#  */
# ...
#
#
# All descriptive text is further processed, scanning for the following special
# patterns, which are highlighted appropriately.
#
# 'funcname()' - function
# '$ENVVAR' - environmental variable
# '&struct_name' - name of a structure (up to two words including 'struct')
# '@parameter' - name of a parameter
# '%CONST' - name of a constant.
