commit 7951411672fab14367d9e785bfc6fe7d9a29668c Author: Warner Losh <[email protected]> AuthorDate: 2026-02-27 00:40:10 +0000 Commit: Warner Losh <[email protected]> CommitDate: 2026-02-27 00:40:32 +0000 sanitize.lua: A tool to extract interfaces from files This is a simple too to remove all comments, extra whitespace and other unnecessary things that may have creative content. What remains can be just the minimal interface described by the header file. When used with care, this can mechanically sanitize files, like some device tree bindings file, that are only #defines that are meant to be used in multiple context (the dts files and in C code to interpret the resulting dtb).
