  2. | Public
type record_field = Odoc_type.record_field = {
  1. rf_name : string;
    (*

    Name of the field.

    *)
  2. rf_mutable : bool;
    (*

    true if mutable.

    *)
  3. rf_type : Types.type_expr;
    (*

    Type of the field.

    *)
  4. mutable rf_text : info option;
    (*

    Optional description in the associated comment.

    *)
}

Description of a record type field.

type constructor_args = Odoc_type.constructor_args =

    (*

    Name of the constructor.

    *)
  2. vc_args : constructor_args;

    optional user description

    *)
}
type type_manifest = Odoc_type.type_manifest =
  1. | Other of Types.type_expr
    (*

    Type manifest directly taken from Typedtree.

    *)
  2. | Object_type of object_field list
