/**
 * \defgroup coding-style Coding style
 *
 * This is how a Doxygen module is documented - start with a \defgroup
 * Doxygen keyword at the beginning of the file to define a module,
 * and use the \addtogroup Doxygen keyword in all other files that
 * belong to the same module. Typically, the \defgroup is placed in
 * the .h file and \addtogroup in the .c file.
 *
 * The Contiki source code contains an Uncrustify configuration file,
 * uncrustify.cfg, under tools/code-style and small helper scripts are
 * provided at the same place. Note that this is not a silver bullet -
 * for example, the script does not add separators between functions,
 * nor does it format comments correctly. The script should be treated
 * as an aid in formatting code: first run the formatter on the source
 * code, then manually edit the file.

 *
 *             Function prototypes have the return type on one line,

 *             between the name and the first parenthesis), followed
