No --help option?
How do I run this thing?
I ran it on a file that had no problems and got a mess, all I think due
to something odd in checkpatch itself right now:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --file drivers/staging/lustre/include/linux/lnet/api.h
Useless use of greediness modifier '+' in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(^\+.*) {8,8}+ <-- HERE \t/ at ./scripts/checkpatch.pl line 2217.
total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 220 lines checked
What's with that 'Useless use..." error? perl 5.20 in use, is that the issue?
Anyway, running this script on the file gave me this:
