- * @brief Helper function to get query parameter from a URI
- * @remarks Its okay to return a copy of the container.\
- * The size is not expected to be huge.
- * @remarks Temporary: The URI must strictly have\
- * coap as the protocol in the fully qualified URI\
- * e.g., coap://1.2.3.4:5657/foo?bar=0)
- * @remarks If a separate class for URI parser is needed,\
- * please talk to Erich Keane.
- * @todo If more URI elements need to be parsed,\
- * please move the common parsing logic to a
- * different function
+ * @brief helper function that parses the query parameters component
+ * of a URI into a key-value map. This function expects the uri
+ * parameter to contain the query parameters component of a URI
+ * (everything after the '?', excluding anything anchors).
+ *
+ * Note that output will not perform URL decoding
