991 <COMMAND> [<ARGUMENT>]
993 Where B<COMMAND> can be:
997 B<search> I<SEARCH_REGEX> - search for I<SEARCH_REGEX> inside ABI
999 B<rest> - output the ABI in ReST markup language
1001 B<validate> - validate the ABI contents
1003 B<undefined> - existing symbols at the system that aren't
1004 defined at Documentation/ABI
1014 Changes the location of the ABI search. By default, it uses
1015 the Documentation/ABI directory.
1017 =item B<--rst-source> and B<--no-rst-source>
1019 The input file may be using ReST syntax or not. Those two options allow
1020 selecting between a rst-compliant source ABI (B<--rst-source>), or a
1021 plain text that may be violating ReST spec, so it requres some escaping
1022 logic (B<--no-rst-source>).
1024 =item B<--enable-lineno>
1026 Enable output of .. LINENO lines.
1028 =item B<--debug> I<debug level>
1030 Print debug information according with the level, which is given by the
1033 - 1: Debug parsing What entries from ABI files;
1034 - 2: Shows what files are opened from ABI files;
1035 - 4: Dump the structs used to store the contents of the ABI files.
1037 =item B<--show-hints>
1039 Show hints about possible definitions for the missing ABI symbols.
1040 Used only when B<undefined>.
1042 =item B<--search-string> I<regex string>
1044 Show only occurences that match a search string.
1045 Used only when B<undefined>.
1049 Prints a brief help message and exits.
1053 Prints the manual page and exits.
1059 Parse the Linux ABI files from ABI DIR (usually located at Documentation/ABI),
1060 allowing to search for ABI symbols or to produce a ReST book containing
1061 the Linux ABI documentation.
1065 Search for all stable symbols with the word "usb":
1069 $ scripts/get_abi.pl search usb --dir Documentation/ABI/stable
1073 Search for all symbols that match the regex expression "usb.*cap":
1077 $ scripts/get_abi.pl search usb.*cap
1081 Output all obsoleted symbols in ReST format
1085 $ scripts/get_abi.pl rest --dir Documentation/ABI/obsolete
