-/**
- * @brief Example showing how to document a function with Doxygen.
- *
- * Description of what the function does. This part may refer to the parameters
- * of the function, like @p param1 or @p param2. A word of code can also be
- * inserted like @c this which is equivalent to <tt>this</tt> and can be useful
- * to say that the function returns a @c void or an @c int. If you want to have
- * more than one word in typewriter font, then just use @<tt@>.
- * We can also include text verbatim,
- * @verbatim like this@endverbatim
- * Sometimes it is also convenient to include an example of usage:
- * @code
- * BoxStruct *out = Box_The_Function_Name(param1, param2);
- * printf("something...\n");
- * @endcode
- * Or,
- * @code{.py}
- * pyval = python_func(arg1, arg2)
- * print pyval
- * @endcode
- * when the language is not the one used in the current source file (but
- * <b>be careful</b> as this may be supported only by recent versions
- * of Doxygen). By the way, <b>this is how you write bold text</b> or,
- * if it is just one word, then you can just do @b this.
- * @param param1 Description of the first parameter of the function.
- * @param param2 The second one, which follows @p param1.
- * @return Describe what the function returns.
- * @see Box_The_Second_Function
- * @see Box_The_Last_One
- * @see http://website/
- * @note Something to note.
- * @warning Warning.

-/**
- * @brief A simple stub function to show how links do work.
- *
- * Links are generated automatically for webpages (like http://www.google.co.uk)
- * and for structures, like BoxStruct_struct. For typedef-ed types use
- * #BoxStruct.
- * For functions, automatic links are generated when the parenthesis () follow
- * the name of the function, like Box_The_Function_Name().
- * Alternatively, you can use #Box_The_Function_Name.
- * @return @c NULL is always returned.
