C domain supports a ".. c:namespace::" tag that allows setting a
symbol namespace. This is used within the kernel to avoid warnings
about duplicated symbols. This is specially important for syscalls,
as each subsystem may have their own documentation for them.
This is specially true for ioctl.
When such tag is used, all C domain symbols have c++ style,
e.g. they'll become "{namespace}.{reference}".
Allow specifying C namespace at the exception files, avoiding
the need of override rules for every symbol.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
