MAINTAINERS: document new "K:" entry type
K: is for keyword. Syntax is perl extended regex. Reorganized header documentation and indent the section entry descriptions so that the first K: would not be considered a regex to match by get_maintainer.pl Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]>

Maintainers List (try to look for most precise areas first) | ||
Descriptions of section entries: | ||
|
||
P: Person (obsolete) | ||
M: Mail patches to: FullName <address@domain> | ||
L: Mailing list that is relevant to this area | ||
W: Web-page with status/info | ||
T: SCM tree type and location. Type is one of: git, hg, quilt, stgit. | ||
S: Status, one of the following: | ||
Supported: Someone is actually paid to look after this. | ||
Maintained: Someone actually looks after it. | ||
Odd Fixes: It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do | ||
much other than throw the odd patch in. See below.. | ||
Orphan: No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the | ||
role as you write your new code]. | ||
Obsolete: Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means | ||
it has been replaced by a better system and you | ||
should be using that. | ||
F: Files and directories with wildcard patterns. | ||
A trailing slash includes all files and subdirectory files. | ||
F: drivers/net/ all files in and below drivers/net | ||
F: drivers/net/* all files in drivers/net, but not below | ||
F: */net/* all files in "any top level directory"/net | ||
One pattern per line. Multiple F: lines acceptable. | ||
X: Files and directories that are NOT maintained, same rules as F: | ||
Files exclusions are tested before file matches. | ||
Can be useful for excluding a specific subdirectory, for instance: | ||
F: net/ | ||
X: net/ipv6/ | ||
matches all files in and below net excluding net/ipv6/ | ||
K: Keyword perl extended regex pattern to match content in a | ||
patch or file. For instance: | ||
K: of_get_profile | ||
matches patches or files that contain "of_get_profile" | ||
K: \b(printk|pr_(info|err))\b | ||
matches patches or files that contain one or more of the words | ||
printk, pr_info or pr_err | ||
One regex pattern per line. Multiple K: lines acceptable. | ||
|
||
Note: For the hard of thinking, this list is meant to remain in alphabetical | ||
order. If you could add yourselves to it in alphabetical order that would be | ||
so much easier [Ed] | ||
