块注释中的感叹号在 C++ /*! 中意味着什么？<comment> +/</comment>

Question

I have a header file in c++ , where the declaration of the functions has a block comment with an exclamation mark ! .

Example

class test{
 public:
        /*! @fn test::test()
            @brief The basic constructor, which initializes the _test handle.
        */
        test();

        /*! @fn test::upload(std::string url)
            @brief A function to execute a http POST request with the given url and image.

            @param[in] url The url we are POSTing to
            @return The response of the server
        */
        std::string upload(std::string url);
}

also it changes the color of the comment in VSCode like this

What does this exclamation mark mean in the comment?

Thanks in advance

These comments are for the Doxygen system that automatically generates documentation from code.
