KERNEL-DOC(1)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so. kernel-doc — manual page for kernel-doc 20240924.

that's it bestie. that's the whole name section. the bar is on the FLOOR and she found a trapdoor under it. 💀

😭 DESCRIPTION 😭

okay so here's where it gets ✨iconic✨ in the worst possible way. this man page does not describe an option. it does not describe a flag. it does not describe literally anything about how to run kernel-doc. what it actually contains — like, the entire body of the page — is a Python traceback. the man page itself is broken, and the thing it printed instead of documentation is this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/builddir/build/BUILD/python-linuxdoc-20240924-build/BUILDROOT//usr/bin/kernel-doc", line 5, in <module>
    from linuxdoc.deprecated import cmd_kernel_doc

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'linuxdoc'

so yeah. the script at that path tried to import cmd_kernel_doc from linuxdoc.deprecated on line 5, and Python was like "girl, there is no module named linuxdoc." 🫠

heads up: this is the entire content of the page. no SYNOPSIS, no OPTIONS, no EXAMPLES, no SEE ALSO, no nothing. if you came here looking for how to actually use kernel-doc, this page is not going to help you and honestly it never was. 😭

the vibe check failed. the documentation did not slay. it's giving "someone's build pipeline had a rough day and nobody noticed until the man page shipped." 🙈

mwah that's the whole page, bestie — kernel-doc 20240924, dated September 2025. she's a KERNEL-DOC(1) User Commands girlie and she is, and I say this with love, completely empty. 💖✨🎀
