Document style conventions

  1. Object Classes
    All object class names are indicated with a typewriter font, and begin with a capital letter, i.e.,
    CommandQueue

  2. Function Names
    All function names begin with a lower case letter and are indicated with a typewriter font, with the return type in bold font; arguments are specified with the type in bold font, and the name in italics, i.e.,
    char *
    stringdup(
    char * s
    )
    When described specifically as a member function of a particular class, the class name is prepended, i.e.,
    void
    Displayable::pick(void *)
    Unless otherwise specified, functions with no arguments given are assumed to have no arguments, and specify void in their function prototype.
