[libvirt] [PATCH] Fix API doc extractor to stop munging comment formatting

Fri Sep 25 12:28:51 UTC 2009
The python method help docs are copied across from the C
funtion comments, but in the process all line breaks and
indentation was being lost. This made the resulting text
and code examples completely unreadable. Both the API
doc extractor and the python generator were destroying
whitespace & this fixes them to preserve it exactly.
* docs/apibuild.py: Preserve all whitespace when extracting
function comments. Print function comment inside a <![CDATA[
section to fully preserve all whitespace. Look for the
word 'returns' to describe return values, instead of 'return'
to avoid getting confused with code examples including the
C 'return' statement.
* python/generator.py: Preserve all whitespace when printing
function help docs
* src/libvirt.c: Change any return parameter indicated by
'return' to be 'returns', to avoid confusing the API extractor
