+Subject: [PATCH] libtracefs: add option to disable documentation
+
+On some Linux environment builder(i.e. Buildroot) host asciidoc is not
+provided since by default all man/docs are not installed to target but
+meson.build at the moment build ascii and html documentation and
+requires asciidoc making the building to fail. So let's add doc option
+set to true by default to let the user to override it and not produce
+the documentation.
+
