 If you just want to read the ready-made books on the various

+kernel-doc for structs, unions, enums, and typedefs
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Beside functions you can also write documentation for structs, unions,
+enums and typedefs. Instead of the function name you must write the name
+of the declaration;  the struct/union/enum/typedef must always precede
+the name. Nesting of declarations is not supported.
+Use the argument mechanism to document members or constants.
+
+Inside a struct description, you can use the "private:" and "public:"
+comment tags.  Structure fields that are inside a "private:" area
+are not listed in the generated output documentation.
+
+Example:
+
+/**
+ * struct my_struct - short description
+ * @a: first member
+ * @b: second member
+ *
+ * Longer description
+ */
+struct my_struct {
+    int a;
+    int b;
+/* private: */
+    int c;
