# NOTE: While kernel-doc requires at least version 3.6 to run, the
# command line should work with Python 3.2+ (tested with 3.4).
# The rationale is that it shall fail gracefully during Kernel
# compilation with older Kernel versions. Due to that:
# - encoding line is needed here;
# - f-strings cannot be used in this file.
# - libraries that require newer versions can only be included
# after the Python version has been checked.

Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / tools.
- Implementation status: integration implementation candidate.
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.
