ext/Kconfiglib/examples/help_grep.py

# Does a case-insensitive search for a regular expression in the help texts of
# symbols and choices and the prompts of menus and comments. Prints the
# matching items together with their locations and the matching text.
#
# Usage:
#
#   $ make [ARCH=<arch>] scriptconfig SCRIPT=Kconfiglib/examples/help_grep.py SCRIPT_ARG=<regex>
#
# Shortened example output for SCRIPT_ARG=general:
#
#   menu "General setup"
#   location: init/Kconfig:39
#
#   config SYSVIPC
#   	bool
#   	prompt "System V IPC"
#   	help
#   	  ...
#   	  exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
#   	  ...
#
#   location: init/Kconfig:233
#
#   config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
#   	bool
#   	prompt "BSD Process Accounting" if MULTIUSER
#   	help
#   	  ...
#   	  information.  This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
