Apache 2.0 uses Doxygen to document the APIs and global variables in the the code. This will explain the basics of how to document using Doxygen.
To start a documentation block, use/**
To end a documentation block, use*/
In the middle of the block, there are multiple tags we can use:
Description of this functions purpose
@param parameter_name description
@return description
@deffunc signature of the function
deffuncis not always necessary. DoxyGen does not have a full parser in it, so any prototype that use a macro in the return type declaration is too complex for scandoc. Those functions require adeffunc. An example (using > rather than >):
/**
* return the final element of the pathname
* @param pathname The path to get the final element of
* @return the final element of the path
* @tip Examples:
*
* "/foo/bar/gum" -> "gum"
* "/foo/bar/gum/" -> ""
* "gum" -> "gum"
* "wi\\n32\\stuff" -> "stuff"
*
* @deffunc const char * ap_filename_of_pathname(const char *pathname)
*/
At the top of the header file, always include:
/**
* @package Name of library header
*/
Doxygen uses a new HTML file for each package. The HTML files are named {Name_of_library_header}.html, so try to be concise with your names.
For a further discussion of the possibilities please refer to the Doxygen site.
