I've documented functions in libraries. It sounds similar to
what you're doing. I don't know of any standards out there.
I took much of the info from the headers in the functions.
I worked with the software developers to include the other
information they wanted included. We came up with a
format that works for them. If you'd like a .pdf of a small
book I've done, you can write me directly.
