Doxygen Best Practices
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+----------------------
-* Do not use @a. Instead use @param to document function parameters.
-* Do not use @return. Instead use @retval to document return status codes.
+* Do not use ``@a``. Instead use ``@param`` to document function parameters.
+* Do not use ``@return``. Instead use ``@retval`` to document return status
+ codes.
* Do not write documentation for trivial functions.
-* Do not repeat documentation, use @see for example.
-* Do not use @note.
-* Use groups and arrange them in a hierarchy. Put every file into at least one group.
+* Do not repeat documentation, use ``@see`` for example.

* Use dot comments for state diagrams.
* Use one whitespace character after an asterisk.

+Special Notes for Google Code-in Students
+-----------------------------------------
-* Follow the directions given by the `Google Code In

Header File Example
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+-------------------
-The files *thread.h*
-(https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/cpukit/score/include/rtems/score/thread.h)
-and *threadimpl.h*
-(https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/cpukit/score/include/rtems/score/threadimpl.h)
-should be a good example of how a header file should be written. The
-following gives details in bits and pieces.
+`thread.h
+<https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/cpukit/include/rtems/score/thread.h>`_ and
+`threadimpl.h
+<https://git.rtems.org/rtems/tree/cpukit/include/rtems/score/threadimpl.h>`_
+should be a good example of how a header file shouldbe written. The following
+gives details in bits and pieces.
Header blocks
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Header files should contain the similar comment blocks as other source files, described at `Boilerplate File Header <https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Developer/Coding/Boilerplate_File_Header>`_.
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- /**

- *
- * The license and distribution terms for this file may be
- * found in the file LICENSE in this distribution or at
- * http://www.rtems.com/license/LICENSE.
- */
-
-Header Guard
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
+-------------
+
+Header files should contain the similar comment blocks as other source files,
+described at :ref:`coding-file-hdr`.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /**
+ * @file
+ *
+ * @ingroup FlipFlop

+ *
+ * The license and distribution terms for this file may be
+ * found in the file LICENSE in this distribution or at
+ * http://www.rtems.com/license/LICENSE.
+ */
+
+Header guard
+------------
-After the comment blocks, use a header guard that assembles at
-least the include path of the file. For example, if flipflop.h is in
-<rtems/lib/flipflop.h> then
+After the comment blocks, use a header guard that assembles at least the
+include path of the file. For example, if ``flipflop.h`` is in
+``<rtems/lib/flipflop.h>`` then
- .. code-block:: c

- #ifndef RTEMS_LIB_FLIP_FLOP_H
- #define RTEMS_LIB_FLIP_FLOP_H
+ #ifndef RTEMS_LIB_FLIP_FLOP_H
+ #define RTEMS_LIB_FLIP_FLOP_H
Includes
-^^^^^^^^
+--------
Then add your include files before protecting C declarations from C++.
+.. code-block:: c
- .. code-block:: c
+ #include <rtems.h>
- #include <rtems.h>
-
- #ifdef __cplusplus
- extern "C" {
- #endif /* __cplusplus */
+ #ifdef __cplusplus
+ extern "C" {
+ #endif /* __cplusplus */
Using @defgroup for group definitions
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Add any group definitions surrounding the function declarations
-that belong in that group. Rarely, a header may define more than one
-group. Here we use a dot diagram.
-
-
- .. code-block:: c
-
- /**
- * @defgroup FlipFlop Flip-Flop

enum and struct

Files

-Document files with the @file directive omitting the optional filename argument. Doxygen will infer the filename from the actual name of the file. Within one Doxygen run all files are unique and specified by the current Doxyfile. We can define how the generated output of path and filenames looks like in the Doxyfile via the FULL_PATH_NAMES, STRIP_FROM_PATH and STRIP_FROM_INC_PATH options.
