+ * - @ref Ports
+ * - @ref Configuration (baud rate, parity, etc.)
+ * - @ref Signals (modem control lines, breaks, etc.)
+ * - @ref Data
+ * - @ref Errors
+ *
+ * libserialport is an open source project released under the LGPL3+ license.
+ *
+ * API principles
+ * ==============
+ *
+ * The API is simple, and designed to be a minimal wrapper around the serial
+ * port support in each OS.
+ *
+ * Most functions take a pointer to a struct sp_port, which represents a serial
+ * port. These structures are always allocated and freed by the library, using
+ * the functions in the @ref Enumeration "Enumeration" section.
+ *
+ * Most functions have return type @ref sp_return and can return only four
+ * possible error values:
+ *
+ * - @ref SP_ERR_ARG means that a function was called with invalid
+ * arguments. This implies a bug in the caller. The arguments passed would
+ * be invalid regardless of the underlying OS or serial device involved.
+ *
+ * - @ref SP_ERR_FAIL means that the OS reported a failure. The error code or
+ * message provided by the OS can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code()
+ * or sp_last_error_message().
+ *
+ * - @ref SP_ERR_SUPP indicates that there is no support for the requested
+ * operation in the current OS, driver or device. No error message is
+ * available from the OS in this case. There is either no way to request
+ * the operation in the first place, or libserialport does not know how to
+ * do so in the current version.
+ *
+ * - @ref SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a memory allocation failed.
+ *
+ * All of these error values are negative.
+ *
+ * Calls that succeed return @ref SP_OK, which is equal to zero. Some functions
+ * declared @ref sp_return can also return a positive value for a successful
+ * numeric result, e.g. sp_read() and sp_write().

-Introduction
-============
-
-libserialport is a minimal library written in C that is intended to take care
-of the OS-specific details when writing software that uses serial ports.
-
-By writing your serial code to use libserialport, you enable it to work
-transparently on any platform supported by the library.
-
-The operations that are supported are:
-
-- @ref Enumeration (obtaining a list of serial ports on the system).
-- @ref Ports
-- @ref Configuration (baud rate, parity, etc)
-- @ref Data
-- @ref Errors
-
-libserialport is an open source project released under the LGPL3+ license.
-
-API principles
-==============
-
-The API is simple, and designed to be a minimal wrapper around the serial port
-support in each OS.
-
-Most functions take a pointer to a struct sp_port, which represents a serial
-port. These structures are always allocated and freed by the library, using
-the functions in the @ref Enumeration "Enumeration" section.
-
-All functions can return only three possible error values. SP_ERR_ARG indicates
-the function was called with invalid arguments. SP_ERR_FAIL indicates that the
-OS reported a failure. SP_ERR_MEM indicates that a memory allocation failed.
-All of these error values are negative.
-
-When SP_ERR_FAIL is returned, an error code or string description of the error
-can be obtained by calling sp_last_error_code() or sp_last_error_message(). The
-error code or message is that provided by the OS; libserialport does not define
-any error codes or messages of its own.
-
-Function calls that succeed return SP_OK, which is equal to zero, or where
-otherwise documented a positive value.
