💅 kw-codestyle — Checkpatch wrapper ✨

okay bestie, welcome to kw-codestyle, aka the Checkpatch wrapper — yes that's the manual name, we're keeping it, it's iconic 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kw (c | codestyle)
kw (c | codestyle) [<directory> | <file> | <patch>]
kw (c | codestyle) [--verbose] [<directory> | <file> | <patch>]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so. checkpatch is genuinely one of the most fabulous scripts the Linux Kernel ever handed us 💖 its whole job is helping devs actually follow the code style the project adopted, and honestly? slay. respect the style guide.

this command here is a wrapper for checkpatch, and its whole goal is making that tool way less of a hassle to use. lowkey a glow-up for your workflow ✨

and here's the fun part: you can point it at a single file, a whole entire directory, or just a single patch — your call, main character energy, you decide 👑

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• <directory>, <file>, <patch> — these tell kw which files to actually run checkpatch on 🫶 and if you don't give it anything? it defaults to the current working directory — but only if that dir is a kernel tree. no kernel tree, no vibe check 😭
• --verbose — shows you the commands being executed under the hood 👀 like, the whole ~behind the scenes~ of what's actually running. we love transparency fr fr

---

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

for all of these, we're assuming the relevant fields in your config files — which live by default in .kw/ — are already set up 🎀 not set up? that's a you problem bestie, go fix it first.

also, strong rec: use kw config for managing your local and global configurations. that's the move, trust 💅 iykyk

okay so for checking the code style:

cd <kernel-path>
kw c drivers/iio/dummy/
kw c drivers/iio/dummy/iio_simple_dummy.c

first you roll into your kernel path like it's your own house 🏡 then you either vibe-check a whole directory, or you get surgical about one specific .c file. both correct, both ate 🔥

heads up: the <kernel-path> in that cd is a placeholder, not a real path — swap in yours, don't come for me 🙈

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! 🌈 go forth and make your code style immaculate, the kernel devs will literally thank you 🧚💜
