documentation: how to use DOC: section blocks
Add info on how to use DOC: sections in kernel-doc. DOC: sections enable the addition of inline source file comments that are general in nature instead of being specific to a function, struct, union, enum, or typedef.

Including documentation blocks in source files
|
||||
----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can
|
||||
include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments
|
||||
instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions,
|
||||
enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a
|
||||
theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example.
|
||||
|
||||
This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
/**
|
||||
* DOC: Theory of Operation
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you
|
||||
* want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* foo bar splat
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage
|
||||
* hardware, software, or its subject(s).
