## visibility() function

Marks an api path with the specfied visibility. When applied to a class, this decorator marks all paths with the specified visibility.

You can optionally mark all controllers in a class with `@visibility('undocumented')`<!-- -->, but use `@visibility('documented')` on a specific method to ensure it is not marked as `undocumented`<!-- -->.

**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare function visibility(visibilityType: OperationVisibility): (target: any, method?: string, methodDescriptor?: TypedPropertyDescriptor<any>) => any;
```
