From fd0a38f9c37d539f5603f887cdb637a4e6e6944d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Quentin Monnet Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2022 16:53:26 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] scripts/bpf: Set version attribute for bpf-helpers(7) man page The bpf-helpers(7) manual page shipped in the man-pages project is generated from the documentation contained in the BPF UAPI header, in the Linux repository, parsed by script/bpf_doc.py and then fed to rst2man. After a recent update of that page [0], Alejandro reported that the linter used to validate the man pages complains about the generated document [1]. The header for the page is supposed to contain some attributes that we do not set correctly with the script. This commit updates the "project and version" field. We discussed the format of those fields in [1] and [2]. Before: $ ./scripts/bpf_doc.py helpers | rst2man | grep '\.TH' .TH BPF-HELPERS 7 "" "" "" After: $ ./scripts/bpf_doc.py helpers | rst2man | grep '\.TH' .TH BPF-HELPERS 7 "" "Linux v5.19-14022-g30d2a4d74e11" "" We get the version from "git describe", but if unavailable, we fall back on "make kernelversion". If none works, for example because neither git nore make are installed, we just set the field to "Linux" and keep generating the page.
