Add a simple sphinx.Parser to handle yaml files and add the
the code to handle Netlink specs. All other yaml files are
ignored.
The code was written in a way that parsing yaml for different
subsystems and even for different parts of Netlink are easy.
All it takes to have a different parser is to add an
import line similar to:
from doc_generator import YnlDocGenerator
adding the corresponding parser somewhere at the extension:
netlink_parser = YnlDocGenerator()
And then add a logic inside parse() to handle different
doc outputs, depending on the file location, similar to:
if "/netlink/specs/" in fname:
msg = self.netlink_parser.parse_yaml_file(fname)

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 reStructuredText 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.
