From cdccb316c0860b26ad52f622a7592122a62d02b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 01:48:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kernel-doc: fix leading dot in man-mode output If a parameter description begins with a '.', this indicates a "request" for "man" mode output (*roff), so it needs special handling. Problem case is in include/asm-i386/atomic.h for function atomic_add_unless(): * @u: ...unless v is equal to u. This parameter description is currently not printed in man mode output.
