kernel-doc comments have some special structure and formatting, but beyond that
they are also treated as reStructuredText.
-There is also the deprecated DocBook toolchain to generate documentation from
-DocBook XML template files under ``Documentation/DocBook``. The DocBook files

Finally, there are thousands of plain text documentation files scattered around
``Documentation``. Some of these will likely be converted to reStructuredText
over time, but the bulk of them will remain in plain text.
FOURCC definitions are located in the linux/videodev2.h header. However, and

and don't require usage of the V4L2 subsystem. FOURCC documentation is

The red, green, blue and transp fields are not used with the FOURCC-based API.

files to better group them and improving the interfaces like dropping return
values for functions that never fail. Then write kerneldoc for all exported

How to extract the documentation
--------------------------------
If you just want to read the ready-made books on the various
-subsystems (see Documentation/DocBook/*.tmpl), just type 'make
-psdocs', or 'make pdfdocs', or 'make htmldocs', depending on your
-preference. If you would rather read a different format, you can type
-'make xmldocs' and then use DocBook tools to convert
-Documentation/DocBook/*.xml to a format of your choice (for example,

+Documentation/output/*.xml to a format of your choice (for example,

-!E<filename> is replaced by the documentation, in <filename>, for
-functions that are exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL: the function list is
-collected from files listed in Documentation/DocBook/Makefile.
-
-!I<filename> is replaced by the documentation for functions that are
-_not_ exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL.
-
-!D<filename> is used to name additional files to search for functions
-exported using EXPORT_SYMBOL.
-
-!F<filename> <function [functions...]> is replaced by the
-documentation, in <filename>, for the functions listed.
-
-!P<filename> <section title> is replaced by the contents of the DOC:
-section titled <section title> from <filename>.
-Spaces are allowed in <section title>; do not quote the <section title>.
-
-!C<filename> is replaced by nothing, but makes the tools check that
-all DOC: sections and documented functions, symbols, etc. are used.
-This makes sense to use when you use !F/!P only and want to verify

Linux documentation for functions is transitioning to inline
documentation via specially-formatted comments near their
-definitions in the source. These comments can be combined with the
-SGML templates in the Documentation/DocBook directory to make DocBook
-files, which can then be converted by DocBook stylesheets to PostScript,
-HTML, PDF files, and several other formats. In order to convert from
-DocBook format to a format of your choice, you'll need to install Jade as

+ :Keywords: text files, Sphinx.
:Description: Documentation that comes with the kernel sources,
inside the Documentation directory. Some pages from this document
(including this document itself) have been moved there, and might
be more up to date than the web version.
- * Title: **The Kernel Hacking HOWTO**

- :Keywords: HOWTO, kernel contexts, deadlock, locking, modules,
- symbols, return conventions.
- :Description: From the Introduction: "Please understand that I
- never wanted to write this document, being grossly underqualified,
- but I always wanted to read it, and this was the only way. I
- simply explain some best practices, and give reading entry-points
- into the kernel sources. I avoid implementation details: that's
- what the code is for, and I ignore whole tracts of useful
- routines. This document assumes familiarity with C, and an
- understanding of what the kernel is, and how it is used. It was
- originally written for the 2.3 kernels, but nearly all of it
- applies to 2.2 too; 2.0 is slightly different".
