[Bug 65861] New: Document how the post_config hook is called
https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65861

Bug ID: 65861
Summary: Document how the post_config hook is called
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.5-HEAD
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Documentation
Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
Reporter: danielsh@apache.org
Target Milestone: ---

I've been able to find little information on the post_config hook in the
project's documentation (doxygen, website, etc.).

I did find <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HTTPD/ModuleLife>, but
I don't know whether that page is up-to-date, considering that it hasn't been
edited at least since it was imported from moin.

The following patch fleshes out the API documentation a bit.

Issues:

1. Does not explain what post_config hooks are expected to do / not do in a
pre-config invocation. Is that assumed knowledge? Is there an explanation of
this elsewhere that can be pointed to?

2. A period may need to be added after the words "for each module". I haven't
run doxygen(1) on the file to check this.

3. The documentation of ap_state_query()-related macros includes some
non-doxygen'd comments (/*…*/ rather than /**…*/), so API users will need to
review the raw .h file to get all information.
