I ask that because in 2.6.36 and later, the config command line tool only uses long option strings (like --oldconfig), not short option strings (like -o). Anyway, in 2.6.35, scripts/kconfig/Makefile is fairly clear on those short option strings: -o oldconfig -s silentoldconfig -r randconfig -y allyesconfig -n allnoconfig -m allmodconfig -d defconfig -D filename use filename as default configuration > Now I havn't a clear understanding on those meaning.
