   "Yahrzeit diary entry--entry applies if date is Yahrzeit or the day before.
 Parameters are DEATH-MONTH, DEATH-DAY, DEATH-YEAR; the diary
 entry is assumed to be the name of the person.  Although the date
 of death is specified by the civil calendar, the proper Hebrew
 calendar Yahrzeit is determined.
 
+If the death occurred after local sunset on the given civil date,
+the following civil date corresponds to the Hebrew date of
+death--set the optional parameter AFTER-SUNSET non-nil in this case.
+
 The order of the input parameters changes according to `calendar-date-style'
 \(e.g. to DEATH-DAY, DEATH-MONTH, DEATH-YEAR in the European style).
 
 An optional parameter MARK specifies a face or single-character string to
 use when highlighting the day in the calendar."
