This is what I see in the example from mailine docs:

/**
 * foobar() - Brief description of foobar.
 * @argument1: Description of parameter argument1 of foobar.
 * @argument2: Description of parameter argument2 of foobar.
 *
 * Longer description of foobar.
 *
 * Return: Description of return value of foobar.
 */
int foobar(int argument1, char *argument2)


What are you referring to?
