This is a simple script that parses the Netlink YAML spec files (Documentation/netlink/specs/), and generates RST files to be rendered in the Network -> Netlink Specification documentation page. Create a python script that is invoked during 'make htmldocs', reads the YAML specs input file and generate the correspondent RST file. Create a new Documentation/networking/netlink_spec index page, and reference each Netlink RST file that was processed above in this main index.rst file. In case of any exception during the parsing, dump the error and skip the file. Do not regenerate the RST files if the input files (YAML) were not changed in-between invocations.

In order to do it, a few things changed: - Rely on Makefile more to find what changed, and trigger individual file processing - The script parses file by file now (instead of batches) - Create a new option to generate the index file V2: * Moved the logic from a sphinx extension to a external script * Adjust some formatting as suggested by Donald Hunter and Jakub * Auto generating all the rsts instead of having stubs * Handling error gracefully Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
