Comments in yii2 remain comments like everywhere else? Or are they functional?

Question

Yii

I listen yii2. Everywhere in the comments there is something like:
/* \@var $content string */ /* \
@var $this \yii\web\View * / Now, is this what would someone like understand me? (A regular comment with an explanation). Or is it addressed to some kind of code handler? sorry for being stupid
