Reference a specific class method with @see command using Doxygen

Copied from here

@see text | URL | classname | classname#methodname Use this to tag to refer the reader to some other source of related information.

So I guess it should be:

/// @see Server#start:

See the doxygen manual page Automatic link generation for more information on referencing classes and functions. In particular see the section "Links to Functions".

Typically, I use the function refernce pattern

<className>::<functionName>

So in your case, I would use

/// \see Server::start

However, from the doxygen manual

For JavaDoc compatibility a # may be used instead of a :: in the patterns above

as stated in @PeterG.'s answer.

For completeness, note that if you a reference a member in the same class

In the documentation of a class containing a member foo, a reference to a global variable is made using ::foo, whereas #foo will link to the member.
