+ - Capture might only work through the :ref:`read() <func-read>` call.
Using auto-generated links is dangerous, as there are multiple definitions for syscalls (at least one on each book part). So, reference them by their explicit reference. I used this small script to help writing this patch: for i in $(git grep -l "c:func:"); do perl -ne 's/\:c\:func:\`(open|close|read|poll|write|select|mmap|munmap|ioctl)\(\)`/:ref:`$1() <func-$1>`/; print $_' < $i >a && mv a $i; done Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> --- .../linux_tv/media/dvb/frontend_f_open.rst | 5 ++-- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/dmabuf.rst | 2 +- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-ioctl.rst | 2 +- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-mmap.rst | 8 ++--- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-munmap.rst | 4 +-- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-open.rst | 6 ++-- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-poll.rst | 32 ++++++++++---------- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-read.rst | 26 ++++++++--------- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-select.rst | 34 +++++++++++----------- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/func-write.rst | 6 ++-- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/io.rst | 4 +-- .../linux_tv/media/v4l/media-func-close.rst | 2 +- .../linux_tv/media/v4l/media-func-ioctl.rst | 2 +- .../linux_tv/media/v4l/media-func-open.rst | 4 +-- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/mmap.rst | 12 ++++---- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/rw.rst | 8 ++--- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/userp.rst | 6 ++-- .../linux_tv/media/v4l/vidioc-decoder-cmd.rst | 4 +-- .../linux_tv/media/v4l/vidioc-encoder-cmd.rst | 8 ++--- Documentation/linux_tv/media/v4l/vidioc-g-parm.rst | 8 ++--- 20 files changed, 92 insertions(+), 91 deletions(-)
