Starting Plugin?

I am new at making plugins but is this how you start a plugin?:

<?php
/*
__PocketMine Plugin__
name = the plugin's name
description = about the plugin
version = plugin version (such as 1.0)
author = ramellafella (my username on pocketmine forums)
class = (I am not quite sure what goes here)
apiversion = the api version ( what is the current api version?)
*/

Is what is filled in correct? Anything not filled in could you please tell me what goes in there (like class and apiversion)?
Thanks
