Subject: [PATCH 4/4] docs: sphinx: Add support :nosymbols: to exclude specific symbols
Date: Fri,  5 Apr 2019 14:44:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190405214453.18768-5-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190405214453.18768-1-sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>

Add :nosymbols: so that documentation of symbols can be organized in the
final output of makedocs.  For example, files that define a large number
of symbols may want to categorize their symbols.  Another example is
SGX, which introduces a uapi header that defines structs for ioctls and
for a new vDSO function[1].  Ideally, the documentation for the vDSO
struct will be placed into a different section.
