This is a most valuable information thanks. I have copy
pasted these stuff, while learning. I guess from the wrong
example. Thanks it looks much more logical that way.

Grate, thanks. Again the wrong copy-paste.

I have some kernel-doc comments of exported functions in the Header
file. I have not yet finished all of them. (Laziness on my part).

Are kernel-doc comments in headers a big NO-NO. I like it this way,
so when I have to learn a new Library all the information
I need to know is in the header. Also the header is a much better place
when you do programing by shopping, that is you don't know what you need
and you look for what's available.

Thanks
Boaz
