From 781951bcf9864ae06741a0d76d3807e332a8faf9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Harald Welte Date: Sun, 15 Oct 2017 19:24:57 +0200 Subject: [doc] stat_item: Complete doxygen documentation for API The stat_item code base had some incomplete doxygen documentation so far. Let's complete it, and at the same time fix some cosmetic as well as copy+paste issues in the existing documentation bits.
