* | docs-rst: parse-headers.pl: cleanup the documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab2016-12-012-126/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Keeping both rst and in-file documentation in sync can be harsh. So, simplify the script's internal documntation to a bare minimum, and add a mention to the ReST file with its full documentation. This way, a quick help is still available at the command line, while the complete one is maintained at the ReST format. As we won't be using pad2rst anymore, do a cleanup at the ReST file.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap images don't scale too well. So, replace it by a SVG image, written in inkscape. I'm using the 2009's temporary logo.svg image from 8032b526d1a3 ("linux.conf.au 2009: Tuz"), with a Tasmanian Devil wearing a tux mask.

As we're planning to add future support for graphviz graphics, also store the .dot file on the tree, as this will make easier when we add such Sphinx extension.

Note that the inclusion of the kerneldoc comments from the source has never worked, since exported symbols were asked for and none of those functions are exported to modules.
