Thanks! It is indeed. And this lets you have multi-paragraph descriptions for fields which would be impossible in the top level struct kernel-doc, because you can't have blank lines in the field descriptions there. Currently you can't have one line inline /** @foo: bar */ descriptions though, the opening and closing comment markers still need to be on their own lines. Maybe I'll get around to fixing that one of these days... BR, Jani. -- Jani Nikula, Intel Open Source Technology Center
