From 14efb275d409c774813af4aaac99806927fa215e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2021 08:42:50 +0100 Subject: scripts: documentation-file-ref-check: ignore hidden files There's a warning there from a .gitignore file: tools/perf/.gitignore: Documentation/doc.dep This is not really a cross-reference type of warning, so no need to report it. In a matter of fact, it doesn't make sense at all to even parse hidden files, as some text editors may create such files for their own usage. So, just ignore everything that matches this pattern: /\.* Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/dd0125a931b4fecf8fab6be8aa527faa18f78e43.1634629094.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet --- scripts/documentation-file-ref-check | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'scripts/documentation-file-ref-check') diff --git a/scripts/documentation-file-ref-check b/scripts/documentation-file-ref-check index 7187ea5e5149..6865d8e63d5c 100755 --- a/scripts/documentation-file-ref-check +++ b/scripts/documentation-file-ref-check @@ -94,6 +94,9 @@ while () { # Makefiles and scripts contain nasty expressions to parse docs next if ($f =~ m/Makefile/ || $f =~ m/\.sh$/); + # It doesn't make sense to parse hidden files + next if ($f =~ m#/\.#); + # Skip this script next if ($f eq $scriptname); -- cgit
