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;
};
