-The `multiple` property tells the decoder if it should stop after finding a

+The `multiple` property tells the decoder if it should continue decoding after
+finding a valid barcode.  If multiple is set to `true`, the results will be 
+returned as an array of result objects.  Each object in the array will have a
+`box`, and may have a `codeResult` depending on the success of decoding the 
+individual box.
 
 The remaining properties `drawBoundingBox`, `showFrequency`, `drawScanline` and
 `showPattern` are mostly of interest during debugging and visualization.
