Yes, I don't use doxygen comments for static functions. If something
in a static function needs commenting, I use the "usual" comments
instead, these are ignored by doxygen. But of course that's only my
personal taste.

OTOH, there's also the EXTRACT_STATIC option of doxygen that skips
static functions entirely when set to "NO", so they don't show up
anywhere, documented or not.

AFAIK doxygen doesn't care. I prefer the .c file because I can look at
the code while writing the documentation. That's probably irrelevant
for automatically generated comments though ;)

Both variants are possible, there's no difference in functionality.

Doxygen is well documented, btw:
