We already have a precedent of function documentation in C files, where it is closer to the implementation (witness libvirt.h vs. libvirt.c); maintaining docs in both files risks docs going stale. While I was at it, I used consistent doxygen style on all comments. * src/util/command.h: Remove duplicate docs, and move unique documentation... * src/util/command.c: ...here.

LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
