Hi Craig,

Did you really intend to delete the documentation information? (Seems like it must be by accident.)
Well I rewrote all of the file and keeping an old comment didn't seem
appropriate. I could easily add it back in if it is still useful.

It's not simply a comment, it is used in the generation of documentation (e.g. make pdf), so, yes, definitely still useful and should/must be kept.  (The FUNCTION, INDEX, SYNOPSYS, DESCRIPTION, RETURNS, etc., headings are used to generate so-called chewout files (I have no idea why they are called that), *.def, which in turn are used to make the various-format (e.g. PDF) man pages/documents.)
