7Convert a C header or source file ``FILE_IN``, into a ReStructured Text
8included via ..parsed-literal block with cross-references for the
9documentation files that describe the API. It accepts an optional
10``FILE_RULES`` file to describes what elements will be either ignored or
11be pointed to a non-default reference type/name.
12
13The output is written at ``FILE_OUT``.
14
15It is capable of identifying defines, functions, structs, typedefs,
16enums and enum symbols and create cross-references for all of them.
17It is also capable of distinguish #define used for specifying a Linux
18ioctl.
19
20The optional ``FILE_RULES`` contains a set of rules like:
21
22    ignore ioctl VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT
23    replace ioctl VIDIOC_DQBUF vidioc_qbuf
24    replace define V4L2_EVENT_MD_FL_HAVE_FRAME_SEQ :c:type:`v4l2_event_motion_det`
