Split the existing options into two groups: actions, which actually do something; and options, which modify the actions in some way. Also there's no need to have short flags for all the non-action options. Reserve short flags for the more important actions. While at it: - change a few of the short flags to be more intuitive - make option descriptions more consistently descriptive - sort options in the source like they are when printed - move options to a global struct Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Reviewed-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/9dcaa752f83aca24b1b21f0b0eeb28a0c181c0b0.1650300597.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
