Hi Michael, everyone, I was directed to you by Quentin Monnet with regards to a missing function in the bpf-helpers(7) Linux man page. I found out that the man page doesn't have anything regarding bpf_redirect_neigh(). Quentin mentioned that he has a script which generates the man page from the comments in the source code, but then I am not sure how and when the man page is being generated so that it gets out of date. This function definitely has comments/documentation in the code and it works properly but is missing in the man page. Is this something you can help with?
Yes, the page is generated: alx@asus5775:~/src/linux/man-pages/man-pages$ cat MAINTAINER_NOTES Externally generated pages ========================== A few pages come from external sources. Fixes to the pages should really go to the upstream source. tzfile(5), zdump(8), and zic(8) come from the tz project (https://www.iana.org/time-zones). bpf-helpers(7) is autogenerated from the kernel sources using scripts. See man-pages commit 53666f6c30451cde022f65d35a8d448f5a7132ba for details.If Quentin has the script, he could send it to me as a patch to the man-pages repo, so that it's added to our scripts/ directory. I can regenerate the page whenever I'm requested to do so, but I've never done it, so I need the script and a simple explanation to use it.
Thanks, Alex
