/** @endcond */, so that Doxygen doesn't include them in the output.
Variables that are "static" don't need to be marked like this.
+ - Mark all public API functions (SRD_API) with a @since tag which indicates
+ in which release the respective function was added. If the function has
+ existed before, but its API changed later, document this as well.
+
+ Non-public functions (static ones, and those marked SRD_PRIV) don't need
+ to have @since markers.
+
+ The @since tag should be the last one, i.e. it should come after @param,
+ @return, @see, and so on.
+
+ Examples:
+
+ @since 0.1.0
+
+ @since 0.1.1 (but the API changed in 0.2.0)
