[PATCH] fs, proc: add help for CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The purpose of the option was documented in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt but the help text was missing.

Add small help text that also points to the documentation.
