Re: Man pages for Kernel API
ok . i figure it out . you should have have have kernel source tree ( which i think most of us had). any way if you dont : $git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $cd linux $make mandocs #make installmandocs #mandb (and yes you should have xmlto and other package installed ) i hope this will help. best wishes, -navid On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 4:44 AM, navid Rahimi wrote: > thank you frank , for make this clear . > so frank in this case can you be more specific , what should i do ? > for example i installed kernel-doc , even downloaded kernel man page > from kernel.org and completed make install routine . but , for example > i don't have any kmalloc man page yet in my fedora . last time i was > in arch linux , i had it . > > best wishes, > -navid > > > On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 2:49 AM, Frank Ch.

Re: Man pages for Kernel API
thank you frank , for make this clear . so frank in this case can you be more specific , what should i do ? for example i installed kernel-doc , even downloaded kernel man page from kernel.org and completed make install routine . but , for example i don't have any kmalloc man page yet in my fedora . last time i was in arch linux , i had it . best wishes, -navid On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 2:49 AM, Frank Ch.

Re: Man pages for Kernel API
i dont know which distro you ( Dipanjan Das ) using , but in fedora i should use something like this for kmalloc : ┌─[✗]─[13:18:11]─[navid@HOME] └──> ~ $ >> man -k kmalloc probe::vm.kmalloc (3stap) - Fires when kmalloc is requested probe::vm.kmalloc_node (3stap) - Fires when kmalloc_node is requested ┌─[13:18:12]─[navid@HOME] └──> ~ $ >> man probe::vm.kmalloc seems man files divided to probe and subsystem vm and functions. if you cannot find yet, you should ask your distro IRC/mailing list to what to do next. best wishes, -navid On Tue, Jun 3, 2014 at 10:49 PM, John de la Garza wrote: > On Tue, Jun 03, 2014 at 10:12:24AM +0530, Dipanjan Das wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Like there is section #2 of man pages dedicated to syscalls, is there any >> official way to get the list of all supported Kernal APIs? > > check out the man page for man itself (man man) > > look for this: > > 9 Kernel routines [Non standard] > > > > You may need to install them (man 9 files) as they may not be installed > > ## example > > john@vega:~/download/koans$ man -k printk > printk (9) - print a kernel message > printk_timed_ratelimit (9) - caller-controlled printk ratelimiting > snd_printd (9) - debug printk > snd_printdd (9) - debug printk > snd_printk (9) - printk wrapper > trace_printk (9) - printf formatting in the ftrace buffer > > > ___ > Kernelnewbies mailing list > Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org > http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies

Man pages for Kernel API
Hi, Like there is section #2 of man pages dedicated to syscalls, is there any official way to get the list of all supported Kernal APIs? ___ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
