The @deffn
command and the other definition commands
enable you to describe functions, variables, macros, commands, user
options, special forms and other entities in a uniform format.
In the output, the name of the entity is shown with any arguments, along with the entity category —‘Function’, ‘Variable’, or whatever. Underneath, the body of the definition is indented. The name of the entity is also entered into the appropriate index.
All the definition commands follow a similar format. This chapter
starts by describing @deffn
before detailing all the other
definition commands.
