# Patterns for excluding files and directories

# Ignore the license directory and the licensing documentation which would
# create lots of noise for no value
LICENSES/
license-rules.rst

# Ignore config files and snippets. The majority is generated
# by the Kconfig tools
kernel/configs/
arch/*/configs/

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / scripts.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
