They are not really doing the same job, in bpf_helpers_doc.py case you don't want the whole header rendered, but just a fraction of it, that is, the single big comment which describes all BPF helper functions that a BPF program developer has available to use in user space - aka the entries in the __BPF_FUNC_MAPPER() macro; I also doubt the latter would actually qualify in kdoc context as some sort of a function description. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
