-- misc options: "option" <symbol>[=<value>]
-
- Various less common options can be defined via this option syntax,
- which can modify the behaviour of the menu entry and its config
- symbol. These options are currently possible:
-
- - "defconfig_list"
- This declares a list of default entries which can be used when
- looking for the default configuration (which is used when the main
- .config doesn't exists yet.)
-
- - "modules"
- This declares the symbol to be used as the MODULES symbol, which
- enables the third modular state for all config symbols.
- At most one symbol may have the "modules" option set.
-
- - "allnoconfig_y"
- This declares the symbol as one that should have the value y when
- using "allnoconfig". Used for symbols that hide other symbols.
