+/**
+ * @mainpage Library Overview
+ *
+ * @section Overview
+ * The WiConnect Library runs on a host MCU and controls a
+ * WiConnect enabled WiFi module. This library is essentially a
+ * programming API for the WiConnect serial command set. More infomation
+ * about the serial command set may be found here:
+ * <a href="http://wiconnect.ack.me" target="_blank">WiConnect Reference Guide</a>
+ *
+ * @section notes Important Notes
+ * - This class is implemented as a 'singleton'. This means it only needs to be
+ *   instantiated once.
+ * - The WiConnect library does NOT call the global 'new' or 'malloc' functions.
+ *   All memory allocation (if required) comes from a user supplied malloc function pointer or buffer
+ *
+ *
+ * @section features Library Settings
+ * The WiConnect Library has multiple settings so as to allow
+ * for the most flexibility within a user's application.
+ *
+ * Some of these configurations are as follows:
+ * - Blocking / Non-blocking
+ * - Dynamic / Static allocation
+ * - Asynchronous Processing
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection setting_blocking_modes Blocking / Non-blocking Modes
+ * The WiConnect Library may be configured for either 'blocking' or
+ * 'non-blocking' operation:
+ * - blocking - API calls do not return until they complete successfully or timeout.
+ * - non-blocking - API calls return immediately. The caller should check the return code to see
+ *                  if the command is still processing, completed, or an error occurred. The caller
+ *                  should continue to call the API function (as often as possible) until it returns
+ *                  either a success or error code.
+ *
+ * @subsubsection setting_blocking_mode Blocking Mode
+ * In blocking mode, an API function will block until it completes.
+ * More details to come...
+ *
+ * @subsubsection setting_nonblocking_mode Non-Blocking Mode
+ * In non-blocking mode, an API function returns immediately.
+ * More details to come...
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection setting_alloc Dynamic / Static Allocation
+ * There are two cases when memory allocation is required:
+ * - Buffer allocation
+ * - Class instantiation
+ *
+ * In both cases, either static or dynamic memory allocation may be used.
+ *
+ * In cases when memory allocation is needed, the API call requires a buffer pointer
+ * and length parameters. If both are supplied, the library uses the supplied external buffer.
+ * This is considered static allocation (however the buffer could have been dynamically allocated).
+ * The caller is responsible for maintaining the supplied buffer.
+ *
+ * If, however, only the buffer length is supplied and the buffer pointer is NULL
+ * the Wiconnect Library will call the user supplied malloc() function. This is considered
+ * dynamic allocation. In this case, the library will maintain the buffer and release it
+ * when necessary using the user supplied free() function.
+ *
+ * @note To use dynamic allocation the WiConnect Library must be compiled with
+ * @ref WICONNECT_ENABLE_MALLOC defined, and the Wiconnect() constructor must be
+ * supplied with pointers to malloc() and free() functions.
+ *
+ * @note The Wiconnect Library does NOT call the global 'new' operator. Classes that are
+ *       internally instantiated overload the 'new' operator and either call the user
+ *       supplied malloc() function or use the supplied static buffer.
+ *
+ *
+ * @subsection setting_async_processing Asynchronous Processing
+ * When applicable, the WiConnect Library will asynchronously process
+ * commands in the background. When the background processing completes, the
+ * supplied callback is called.
+ *
+ * User commands may also be executed in the background using the enqueueCommand()
+ * API function.
+ *
+ * @note The WiConnect Library must be compiled with @ref WICONNECT_ASYNC_TIMER_ENABLED
+ *       defined for background processing to be enabled.
+ *
