Hi, I was reading the StartKernelHacking section from kernelnewbies.org site and found that the command: scripts/checkpatch.pl --terse --show-types --strict path/to/source/file needs to add the --file option before path/to..., if not, checkpatch.pl will complain about the non-diff format. scripts/checkpatch.pl --terse --show-types --strict --file path/to/source/file I tried to apply the change by myself, but obviously I had no permissions to do so. Hope it helps and thank you for maintaining the website, -- Christopher Díaz Riveros Gentoo Linux Developer GPG Fingerprint: E517 5ECB 8152 98E4 FEBC 2BAA 4DBB D10F 0FDD 2547 _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
