Subject: [PATCH v1 03/22] docs: ioctl: convert to ReST
Rename the iio documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.
The cdrom.txt and hdio.txt have their own particular syntax.
In order to speedup the conversion, I used a small ancillary
perl script:
my $d;
$d .= $_ while(<>);
$d =~ s/(\nCDROM\S+)\s+(\w[^\n]*)/$1\n\t$2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\nHDIO\S+)\s+(\w[^\n]*)/$1\n\t$2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*usage:)[\s\n]*(\w[^\n]*)/$1:\n\n\t $2\n/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*)(E\w+[\s\n]*\w[^\n]*)/$1- $2/g;
$d =~ s/(\n\s*)(inputs|outputs|notes):\s*(\w[^\n]*)/$1$2:\n\t\t$3\n/g;
print $d;
It basically add blank lines on a few interesting places. The
script is not perfect: still several things require manual work,
but it saved quite some time doing some obvious stuff.
At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

- ANY data tracks on it, it will be returned as a data CD.
- If it has any XA tracks, I will return it as that. Now I
