This accepts a single command to execute. It returns the standard output from it. [Example code] config HELLO string default "$(shell echo hello world)" config Y def_bool $(shell echo y) [Result] $ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 2 .config CONFIG_HELLO="hello world" CONFIG_Y=y Caveat: Like environments, functions are expanded in the lexer. You cannot pass symbols to function arguments. This is a limitation to simplify the implementation. I want to avoid the dynamic function evaluation, which would introduce much more complexity.
