@samp{usage:}, the rest of the line is treated as the argument list
for documentation purposes. This way, you can use different argument
names in the documentation string from the ones used in the C code.
+@samp{usage:} is required if the function has an unlimited number of
+arguments.
All the usual rules for documentation strings in Lisp code
(@pxref{Documentation Tips}) apply to C code documentation strings
@file{lisp.h} contains the definitions for some important macros and
functions.
- If you define a function which is side-effect free, update the code in
-@file{byte-opt.el} which binds @code{side-effect-free-fns} and
-@code{side-effect-and-error-free-fns} to include it. This will help the
-optimizer.
