Description​

Supplementary information in a FuncSynopsis. See FuncSynopsis.

Unlike the other info elements, FuncSynopsisInfo is not a container for meta-information. Instead FuncSynopsisInfo is a verbatim environment for adding additional information to a function synopsis.

Processing expectations​

This element is displayed “verbatim”; whitespace and linebreaks within this element are significant.

Future Changes​

The InterfaceDefinition element will be discarded in DocBook V4.0. It will no longer be available in the content model of this element.

Parents​

These elements contain funcsynopsisinfo: funcsynopsis.

Attributes​

format

The Format attribute applies the linespecific notation to all FuncSynopsisInfos. All white space and line breaks must be preserved.

linenumbering

[4.0]Line numbering indicates whether or not the lines of a FuncSynopsisInfo are to be automatically numbered. The details of numbering (every line or only selected lines, on the left or right, etc.) are left up to the processing application. Be aware that not all processors are capable of numbering lines.

Examples​

For examples, see funcsynopsis, refentry, varargs.
