Hi,

My bad english is the culprit. I read something like this in the Linux
kernel docs:

"... There is one special case, namely functions: they have the opening
brace at the beginning of the next line, thus:

intfunction(intx)
{
bodyoffunction
}

..."

Now, reading it again, I understand that "namely" is used  as an adverb
understood to mean something like "i.e." or "they are". For example:

"There are two types of solar energy, namely photovoltaic and thermal."

The Linux page refers above to the opening brace at the beginning of the
implementation of a function.

Cheers,

Aitor.
