[PATCH v4 08/14] docs: sphinx: add a parser for yaml files for Netlink specs
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
Date: Sat Jun 14 2025 - 04:59:49 EST
Add a simple sphinx.Parser to handle yaml files and add the
the code to handle Netlink specs. All other yaml files are
ignored.
The code was written in a way that parsing yaml for different
subsystems and even for different parts of Netlink are easy.
All it takes to have a different parser is to add an
import line similar to:
from netlink_yml_parser import YnlDocGenerator
adding the corresponding parser somewhere at the extension:
netlink_parser = YnlDocGenerator()
And then add a logic inside parse() to handle different
doc outputs, depending on the file location, similar to:
if "/netlink/specs/" in fname:
msg = self.netlink_parser.parse_yaml_file(fname)
