Controller-Specific Kernel Documentation
The kernel-doc package provides a detailed documentation of all resource controllers. This package is included in the Optional subscription channel. Before subscribing to the Optional channel, see the Scope of Coverage Details for Optional software, then follow the steps documented in the article called How to access Optional and Supplementary channels, and -devel packages using Red Hat Subscription Manager (RHSM)? on Red Hat Customer Portal. To install kernel-doc from the Optional channel, type as
root:
~]# yum install kernel-doc
After the installation, the following files will appear under the
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-<kernel_version>/Documentation/cgroups/ directory:
