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;
};
