Commit Message

Ola Liljedahl Jan. 29, 2015, 10:40 a.m. UTC
Updated doxygen descriptions, particularly the @return/@retval descriptions.
No change of implementation necessary.
Documented API calls which are guaranteed to handle invalid/stale handles.
Removed unnecessary warnings of undefined behavior.
