[PATCH 27/41] Documentation: userp.rst: Add ioctl cross references

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are lots of ioctls mentioned there that aren't cross-referenced.

Convert the const to cross references. That makes it visually
better, and improves navigation along the document.

While here, remove bad whitespaces.
