  * Enables debugging for QML engines created after calling this function. The debug server will
  * listen on \a port at \a hostName and block the QML engine until it receives a connection if
- * \a block is true. If \a block is not specified it won't block and if \a hostName isn't specified
- * it will listen on all available interfaces. You can only start one debug server at a time. A
- * debug server may have already been started if the -qmljsdebugger= command line argument was
- * given. This method returns \c true if a new debug server was successfully started, or \c false
- * otherwise.
+ * \a mode is \c WaitForClient. If \a mode is not specified it won't block and if \a hostName is not
+ * specified it will listen on all available interfaces. You can only start one debug server at a
+ * time. A debug server may have already been started if the -qmljsdebugger= command line argument
