There's a comment in sys/conf/NOTES: # # NOTES conventions and style guide: # # Large block comments should begin and end with a line containing only a # comment character. # # To describe a particular object, a block comment (if it exists) should # come first. Next should come device, options, and hints lines in that # order. All device and option lines must be described by a comment that # doesn't just expand the device or option name. Use only a concise # comment on the same line if possible. Very detailed descriptions of # devices and subsystems belong in man pages. # # A space followed by a tab separates 'options' from an option name. Two # spaces followed by a tab separate 'device' from a device name. Comments # after an option or device should use one space after the comment character. # To comment out a negative option that disables code and thus should not be # enabled for LINT builds, precede 'options' with "#!". # -- John Baldwin
