DESCRIPTION
|
||||
***********
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Convert a C header or source file (C_FILE), into a ReStructured Text
|
||||
included via ..parsed-literal block with cross-references for the
|
||||
documentation files that describe the API. It accepts an optional
|
||||
EXCEPTIONS_FILE with describes what elements will be either ignored or
|
||||
be pointed to a non-default reference.
|
||||
|
||||
The output is written at the (OUT_FILE).
|
||||
|
||||
It is capable of identifying defines, functions, structs, typedefs,
|
||||
enums and enum symbols and create cross-references for all of them.
|
||||
It is also capable of distinguish #define used for specifying a Linux
|
||||
ioctl.
|
||||
|
||||
The EXCEPTIONS_FILE contain two types of statements: \ **ignore**\ or \ **replace**\ .
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax for the ignore tag is:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ignore \ **type**\ \ **name**\
|
||||
|
||||
The \ **ignore**\ means that it won't generate cross references for a
|
||||
\ **name**\ symbol of type \ **type**\ .
|
||||
|
||||
The syntax for the replace tag is:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
replace \ **type**\ \ **name**\ \ **new_value**\
|
||||
|
||||
The \ **replace**\ means that it will generate cross references for a
|
||||
\ **name**\ symbol of type \ **type**\ , but, instead of using the default
|
||||
replacement rule, it will use \ **new_value**\ .
|
||||
|
||||
For both statements, \ **type**\ can be either one of the following:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\ **ioctl**\
|
||||
|
||||
The ignore or replace statement will apply to ioctl definitions like:
|
||||
|
||||
#define VIDIOC_DBG_S_REGISTER _IOW('V', 79, struct v4l2_dbg_register)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\ **define**\
|
||||
|
||||
The ignore or replace statement will apply to any other #define found
|
||||
at C_FILE.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\ **typedef**\
|
||||
|
||||
The ignore or replace statement will apply to typedef statements at C_FILE.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\ **struct**\
|
||||
|
||||
The ignore or replace statement will apply to the name of struct statements
|
||||
at C_FILE.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\ **enum**\
|
||||
|
||||
The ignore or replace statement will apply to the name of enum statements
|
||||
at C_FILE.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
\ **symbol**\
|
||||
|
||||
The ignore or replace statement will apply to the name of enum statements
|
||||
at C_FILE.
|
||||
|
||||
For replace statements, \ **new_value**\ will automatically use :c:type:
|
||||
references for \ **typedef**\ , \ **enum**\ and \ **struct**\ types. It will use :ref:
|
||||
for \ **ioctl**\ , \ **define**\ and \ **symbol**\ types. The type of reference can
|
||||
also be explicitly defined at the replace statement.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
EXAMPLES
|
||||
********
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
ignore define _VIDEODEV2_H
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ignore a #define _VIDEODEV2_H at the C_FILE.
|
||||
|
||||
ignore symbol PRIVATE
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On a struct like:
|
||||
|
||||
enum foo { BAR1, BAR2, PRIVATE };
|
||||
|
||||
It won't generate cross-references for \ **PRIVATE**\ .
|
||||
|
||||
replace symbol BAR1 :c:type:\`foo\`
|
||||
replace symbol BAR2 :c:type:\`foo\`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On a struct like:
|
||||
|
||||
enum foo { BAR1, BAR2, PRIVATE };
|
||||
|
||||
It will make the BAR1 and BAR2 enum symbols to cross reference the foo
|
||||
symbol at the C domain.
