+Parameters and member arguments
+-------------------------------
+
+The kernel-doc function comments describe each parameter to the function and
+function typedefs or each member of struct/union, in order, with the
+``@argument:`` descriptions. For each non-private member argument, one
+``@argument`` definition is needed.
+
+The ``@argument:`` descriptions begin on the very next line following
+the opening brief function description line, with no intervening blank
+comment lines.
+
+The ``@argument:`` descriptions may span multiple lines.
+
+.. note::
+
+   If the ``@argument`` description has multiple lines, the continuation
+   of the description should be starting exactly at the same column as
+   the previous line, e. g.::
+
+      * @argument: some long description
+      *       that continues on next lines
+
+   or::
+
+      * @argument:
+      *		some long description
+      *		that continues on next lines
+
+If a function or typedef parameter argument is ``...`` (e. g. a variable
+number of arguments), its description should be listed in kernel-doc
+notation as::
+
+      * @...: description
+
+Private members
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Inside a struct or union 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.
+
+The ``private:`` and ``public:`` tags must begin immediately following a
+``/*`` comment marker.  They may optionally include comments between the
+``:`` and the ending ``*/`` marker.
+
+Example::
+
+  /**
+   * struct my_struct - short description
+   * @a: first member
+   * @b: second member
+   * @d: fourth member
+   *
+   * Longer description
+   */
+  struct my_struct {
+      int a;
+      int b;
+  /* private: internal use only */
+      int c;
+  /* public: the next one is public */
+      int d;
+  };

+Function documentation
+----------------------
+
+The general format of a function and function-like macro kernel-doc comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * function_name() - Brief description of function.
+   * @arg1: Describe the first argument.
+   * @arg2: Describe the second argument.
+   *        One can provide multiple line descriptions
+   *        for arguments.
+   *
+   * A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
+   * that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
+   * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
+   * comment lines.
+   *
+   * The longer description may have multiple paragraphs.
+   *
+   * Return: Describe the return value of foobar.
+   *
+   * The return value description can also have multiple paragraphs, and should
+   * be placed at the end of the comment block.
+   */
+
+The brief description following the function name may span multiple lines, and
+ends with an argument description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
+comment block.
+
+Return values
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The return value, if any, should be described in a dedicated section
+named ``Return``.
+
+.. note::
+
+  #) The multi-line descriptive text you provide does *not* recognize
+     line breaks, so if you try to format some text nicely, as in::
+
+	* Return:
+	* 0 - OK
+	* -EINVAL - invalid argument
+	* -ENOMEM - out of memory
+
+     this will all run together and produce::
+
+	Return: 0 - OK -EINVAL - invalid argument -ENOMEM - out of memory
+
+     So, in order to produce the desired line breaks, you need to use a
+     ReST list, e. g.::
+
+      * Return:
+      * * 0		- OK to runtime suspend the device
+      * * -EBUSY	- Device should not be runtime suspended
+
+  #) If the descriptive text you provide has lines that begin with
+     some phrase followed by a colon, each of those phrases will be taken
+     as a new section heading, with probably won't produce the desired
+     effect.
+
+Structure, union, and enumeration documentation
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The general format of a struct, union, and enum kernel-doc comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * struct struct_name - Brief description.
+   * @argument: Description of member member_name.
+   *
+   * Description of the structure.
+   */
+
+On the above, ``struct`` is used to mean structs. You can also use ``union``
+and ``enum``  to describe unions and enums. ``argument`` is used
+to mean struct and union member names as well as enumerations in an enum.
+
+The brief description following the structure name may span multiple lines, and
+ends with a member description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
+comment block.
+
+The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each member of the structure,
+in order, with the member descriptions.
+
+Nested structs/unions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+It is possible to document nested structs unions, like::
+
+      /**
+       * struct nested_foobar - a struct with nested unions and structs
+       * @arg1: - first argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+       * @arg2: - second argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+       * @arg3: - third argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+       * @arg4: - fourth argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
+       * @bar.st1.arg1 - first argument of struct st1 on union bar
+       * @bar.st1.arg2 - second argument of struct st1 on union bar
+       * @bar.st2.arg1 - first argument of struct st2 on union bar
+       * @bar.st2.arg2 - second argument of struct st2 on union bar
+      struct nested_foobar {
+        /* Anonymous union/struct*/
+        union {
+          struct {
+            int arg1;
+            int arg2;
+	  }
+          struct {
+            void *arg3;
+            int arg4;
+	  }
+	}
+	union {
+          struct {
+            int arg1;
+            int arg2;
+	  } st1;
+          struct {
+            void *arg1;
+            int arg2;
+	  } st2;
+	} bar;
+      };
+
+.. note::
+
+   #) When documenting nested structs or unions, if the struct/union ``foo``
+      is named, the argument ``bar`` inside it should be documented as
+      ``@foo.bar:``
+   #) When the nested struct/union is anonymous, the argument ``bar`` on it
+      should be documented as ``@bar:``
+
+Typedef documentation
+---------------------
+
+The general format of a typedef kernel-doc comment is::
+
+  /**
+   * typedef type_name - Brief description.
+   *
+   * Description of the type.
+   */
+
+Typedefs with function prototypes can also be documented::
+
+  /**
+   * typedef type_name - Brief description.
+   * @arg1: description of arg1
+   * @arg2: description of arg2
+   *
+   * Description of the type.

+   typedef void (*type_name)(struct v4l2_ctrl *arg1, void *arg2);
