Hi Naver,

The prompt has told you to run it on top-level of directory. Execute "./scripts/checkpatch.pl sortextable.c" Best Regards

In reply to Naver

checkpatch.pl is script to check your patch, not C file I think.

One can use checkptach -f <filename> to run the script on source files.

For more details, check
./scripts/checkpatch.pl --help

Though why you have a .c file in scripts/ is beyond me, it should probably
be in some other directory.
