From 68c11661958bd0d6a78fd9c4a89958e81af7b667 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: grog <grog@FreeBSD.org>
Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 06:38:27 +0000
Subject: Add documentation for previously undocumented macros, and correct
 existing documentation.  This is not made any easier by the brain-damaged
 format required for the documentation: one line, no full stops or commas.
