-
-SEARCHING for CONFIG symbols
-
-Searching in menuconfig:
-
- The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
- names, so you have to know something close to what you are
- looking for.
-
- Example:
- /hotplug
- This lists all config symbols that contain "hotplug",
- e.g., HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU, MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
-
- For search help, enter / followed TAB-TAB-TAB (to highlight
- <Help>) and Enter. This will tell you that you can also use
- regular expressions (regexes) in the search string, so if you
- are not interested in MEMORY_HOTPLUG, you could try
-
- /^hotplug

-Available themes are:

KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
--------------------------------------------------
This enables you to create "miniature" config (miniconfig) or custom
config files containing just the config symbols that you are interested
in. Then the kernel config system generates the full .config file,
-including dependencies of your miniconfig file, based on the miniconfig
-file.
+including symbols of your miniconfig file.
This 'KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG' file is a config file which contains
(usually a subset of all) preset config symbols. These variable
disable the options that are explicitly listed in the specified
mini-config files.
