Use kernel-doc -v and take a look on the info-messages. In Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc we recommend to use /** * foo() - lorem ipsum to tag functions, but if you do so, the info message is broken, the function name is missed at the end of the message: ../test123.c:2: info: Scanning doc for Here is the similar patch to kernel-doc python version: https://github.com/return42/linuxdoc/commit/84d665df34cc3c9908a4b8ce0fdf193165a1ffa4 @Mike: thanks! --Markus-- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
