configk [Options] <source-directory>

config-kernel program helps to edit kernel configuration (.config) and template files. It recursively reads the Kconfig files from a given source directory and builds a tree structure of CONFIG options. This tree can be traversed to query option's attributes or set/reset them. It can also be used to validate kernel's '.config' file by checking option's value and dependencies.

A typical CONFIG entry in a Kconfig file begins with a 'config' keyword on a new line and its attributes on the following lines indented by the tab (\t) character:

       config <OPTION_NAME>
       <\t>Attribute-1
       <\t>Attribute-2
         ...
       <\t>Attribute-n

User can query, enable, disable or toggle CONFIG options via command line switch or an $EDITOR program.
