"""
Kconfiglib is a Python library for scripting and extracting information from
Kconfig-based configuration systems. Features include the following:

 - Symbol values and properties can be looked up and values assigned
   programmatically.
 - .config files can be read and written.
 - Expressions can be evaluated in the context of a Kconfig configuration.
 - Relations between symbols can be quickly determined, such as finding all
   symbols that reference a particular symbol.
 - Highly compatible with the scripts/kconfig/*conf utilities. The test suite
   automatically compares outputs between Kconfiglib and the C implementation
   for a large number of cases.

For the Linux kernel, scripts are run using

 $ make scriptconfig [ARCH=<arch>] SCRIPT=<path to script> [SCRIPT_ARG=<arg>]

Using the 'scriptconfig' target ensures that required environment variables
(SRCARCH, ARCH, srctree, KERNELVERSION, etc.) are set up correctly.

Scripts receive the name of the Kconfig file to load in sys.argv[1]. As of
Linux 4.1.0-rc5, this is always "Kconfig" from the kernel top-level directory.
If an argument is provided with SCRIPT_ARG, it appears as sys.argv[2].

To get an interactive Python prompt with Kconfiglib preloaded and a Config
object 'c' created, run

 $ make iscriptconfig [ARCH=<arch>]

Kconfiglib supports both Python 2 and Python 3. For (i)scriptconfig, the Python
interpreter to use can be passed in PYTHONCMD, which defaults to 'python'. PyPy
works well too, and might give a nice speedup for long-running jobs.

The examples/ directory contains short example scripts, which can be run with
e.g.

 $ make scriptconfig SCRIPT=Kconfiglib/examples/print_tree.py

or

 $ make scriptconfig SCRIPT=Kconfiglib/examples/help_grep.py SCRIPT_ARG=kernel

testsuite.py contains the test suite. See the top of the script for how to run
it.

           from the top-level directory, as environment variables will make
           sure the right Kconfig is included from there

           by the Linux makefiles to the top-level kernel directory. A default
