+/**
+ * \defgroup memb Memory block management functions
+ *
+ * The memory block allocation routines provide a simple yet powerful
+ * set of functions for managing a set of memory blocks of fixed
+ * size. A set of memory blocks is statically declared with the
+ * MEMB() macro. Memory blocks are allocated from the declared
+ * memory by the memb_alloc() function, and are deallocated with the
+ * memb_free() function.
+ *
+ * \note Because of namespace clashes only one MEMB() can be
+ * declared per C module, and the name scope of a MEMB() memory
+ * block is local to each C module.
+ *
+ * The following example shows how to declare and use a memory block
+ * called "cmem" which has 8 chunks of memory with each memory chunk
+ * being 20 bytes large.
+ *
