"""
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 SCRIPT=<path to script> [SCRIPT_ARG=<arg>]

Running scripts via the 'scriptconfig' target ensures that required environment
variables (SRCARCH, ARCH, srctree, KERNELVERSION, etc.) are set up correctly.
Alternative architectures can be specified like for other 'make *config'
targets:

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

The script will receive the name of the Kconfig file to load in sys.argv[1].
(As of Linux 3.7.0-rc8 this is always "Kconfig" from the kernel top-level
directory.) If an argument is provided with SCRIPT_ARG, it will appear in
sys.argv[2].

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

 $ make iscriptconfig [ARCH=<architecture>]

Kconfiglib requires Python 2. For (i)scriptconfig the command to run the Python
interpreter can be passed in the environment variable PYTHONCMD (defaults to
'python'; PyPy works too and is a bit faster).

Look in the examples/ subdirectory for examples, 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"

Look in testsuite.py for the test suite.

        means the user value will be ignored. A visibility of "n" corresponds
        to not being visible in the 'make *config' interfaces.

        Example (assuming we're running with modules enabled -- i.e., MODULES
