Research direction

The issue points to two C source files: src/common/points_input.c and include/c_common/points_input.h. Start by reading these files to understand their functions and data structures. Use Doxygen syntax to write comments directly in the source code, focusing on function descriptions, parameters, and return values. Check the project's existing Doxygen documentation for examples of style and format. Once documented, verify by generating the documentation locally to ensure it renders correctly.
