Given the relative success of the process around bpf-helpers(7) to
encourage developers to document their user-facing changes, in this
patch series I explore applying this technique to bpf(2) as well.
Unfortunately, even with bpf(2) being so out-of-date, there is still a
lot of content to convert over. In particular, I've identified at least
the following aspects of the bpf syscall which could individually be
generated from separate documentation in the header:
* BPF syscall commands
* BPF map types
* BPF program types
* BPF attachment points
Does this also include program subtypes (AKA expected_attach_type?)
I seem to have left my lawyerly "including, but not limited to..."
language at home today ;-) . Of course, I can add that to the list.
Great, thanks! :)
