[pacman-dev] [PATCH] added doxygen documentation

andrew.gregory.8 at gmail.com andrew.gregory.8 at gmail.com
Mon Nov 21 22:35:52 EST 2011


From: Andrew Gregory <andrew.gregory.8 at gmail.com>

Made existing documentation more consistent and added
documentation where there was none. A couple functions
I did not fully understand still need documentation and
are marked with 'TODO'.
