How should we indicate that not a particular value is returned, but <br>
instead an element of a set. For example:<br>
<br>
/**<br>
* @brief Performs something and returns the operation status.<br>
*<br>
* @retval 0 Successful operation.<br>
* @retval EIO Input/output error.<br>
* @retval <otherwise> Any other value will not be returned.<br>

int f(void);<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That last @retval doesn't match what I thought your statement above indicated.</div><div>The English on the last @retval say there are no more. Why even include that?</div><div><br></div><div>If you mean other errno's may be returned, that's different.</div><div><br></div><div>What about the -1 and errno cases? </div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
<br>
/**<br>
* @brief Creates an object.<br>
*<br>
* @retval NULL Not enough resources to create an object.<br>
* @retval <object> Pointer to created object.<br>
*/<br>
T *create(void);<br>
<br>
We may also use "[object]" or "{object}" or "object" or whatever.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Can we use "instance of T"?</div><div><br></div><div>I assume you used object generically.
