"""
Script to auto generate the documentation for Netlink specifications.
:copyright: Copyright (C) 2023 Breno Leitao <[email protected]>
:license: GPL Version 2, June 1991 see linux/COPYING for details.
This script performs extensive parsing to the Linux kernel's netlink YAML
spec files, in an effort to avoid needing to heavily mark up the original
YAML file.
This code is split in three big parts:
1) RST formatters: Use to convert a string to a RST output
2) Parser helpers: Functions to parse the YAML data structure
3) Main function and small helpers
