It is just a function that can take all the same parameters that a *path operation function* can take:

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

And it has the same shape and structure that all your *path operation functions* have.

You can think of it as a *path operation function* without the "decorator" (without the `@app.get("/some-path")`).

                        // The regex `^\\s*\\[\\[(.*)\\]\\]` looks for lines starting with '[[...]]'
                        // and captures the content within the brackets.
                        Files.readAllLines(file).forEach(line -> {
                            if (line.matches("^\\s*\\[\\[(.*)\\]\\].*")) {
                                String anchorName = line.replaceAll("^\\s*\\[\\[(.*)\\]\\].*$", "$1");

        assertEquals(toString(expectedList), toString(actualList));
    }

    private static String toString(List<String> lines) {
        return String.join("\n", lines);
    }

And all of them (or any portion of them that you want) can take advantage of re-using these dependencies or any other dependencies you create.

And all these thousands of *path operations* can be as small as 3 lines:

{* ../../docs_src/security/tutorial002_an_py310.py hl[30:32] *}

## Recap { #recap }

You can now get the current user directly in your *path operation function*.

We are already halfway there.

## Advanced description from docstring { #advanced-description-from-docstring }

You can limit the lines used from the docstring of a *path operation function* for OpenAPI.

Adding an `\f` (an escaped "form feed" character) causes **FastAPI** to truncate the output used for OpenAPI at this point.
