Add document for exported enums
There are several exported enums by libkmod without document, this patch mainly added documentation for below enums like the way kmod_resources be documented in. * kmod_index * kmod_remove * kmod_insert * kmod_probe * kmod_filter * kmod_module_initstate This is not the best way to document these exported enums, however, it's the simple way due to gtkdoc limits. It doesn't support export plain enum like below: see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=657444 ---------8<-------head.h--------------8<----------- ... enum foo { ... }; ... ---------8<-------end of head.h-------8<----------- ---------8<-------source.c------------8<----------- ... /** * document for foo here */ ... typedef enum foo foo; ... ---------8<-------end of source.c-----8<----------
