11 qapidoc is a Sphinx extension that implements the qapi-doc directive
13 The purpose of this extension is to read the documentation comments
14 in QAPI schema files, and insert them all into the current document.
16 It implements one new rST directive, "qapi-doc::".
17 Each qapi-doc:: directive takes one argument, which is the
18 pathname of the schema file to process, relative to the source tree.
20 The docs/conf.py file must set the qapidoc_srctree config value to
21 the root of the QEMU source tree.
23 The Sphinx documentation on writing extensions is at:

68 create a QAPISchemaGenRSTVisitor object, and call its
69 visit_begin() method. Then you can call one of the two methods
70 'freeform' (to add documentation for a freeform documentation
71 chunk) or 'symbol' (to add documentation for a QAPI symbol). These
72 will cause the visitor to build up the tree of document
73 nodes. Once you've added all the documentation via 'freeform' and
74 'symbol' method calls, you can call 'get_document_nodes' to get
