[PATCH 0/7] docs: core-api: Fix stale function names and a broken example

From: Karl Mehltretter

Date: Sat Aug 22 2026 - 08:17:10 EST


A review of Documentation/core-api turned up a handful of places where
the text names a function that does not exist, or an example command
that cannot work as written. Each one is a plain typo from the day the
text was written rather than an API rename: for every patch the wrong
name was checked against the tree at the time of the Fixes: commit, and
the correct name exists in current mainline.

The changes are independent of each other and only touch prose and
examples, so each can be applied on its own.
