=head1 NAME

kernel-doc - Print formatted kernel documentation to stdout

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 kernel-doc [-h] [-v] [-Werror] [-Wall] [-Wreturn] [-Wshort-desc[ription]] [-Wcontents-before-sections]
   [ -man |
     -rst [-sphinx-version VERSION] [-enable-lineno] |
     -none
   ]
   [
     -export |
     -internal |
     [-function NAME] ... |
     [-nosymbol NAME] ...
   ]
   [-no-doc-sections]
   [-export-file FILE] ...
   FILE ...

Run `kernel-doc -h` for details.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Read C language source or header FILEs, extract embedded documentation comments,
and print formatted documentation to standard output.

The documentation comments are identified by the "/**" opening comment mark.

See Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst for the documentation comment syntax.
