what is the value of "help" text on a choice?

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

 



  i just noticed this in init/Kconfig:

...
choice
        prompt "Choose SLAB allocator"
        default SLUB
        help
           This option allows to select a slab allocator.

config SLAB
        bool "SLAB"
        help
          The regular slab allocator that is established and known to work
          well in all environments. It organizes cache hot objects in
          per cpu and per node queues. SLAB is the default choice for
          a slab allocator.
...

  but while there is some help text associated with the "choice"
entry, i don't see how you can display it while in "make menuconfig".

  you can certainly display the help info for each of the actual
underlying choices, but not for the choice entry itself.  or am i
missing something here?
