Should there be a space in your name as "Andy Pei"?

The doxygen format is @param param_name param_description.
It is also important to strictly match the name of the parameter.
@adpdate is a typo (should be @param adapter).

You can build the doc with "make doc-api-html"
and check the result in your browser.
