 By default, $myname will upper-case the given symbol. Use --keep-case to keep
 the case of all following symbols unchanged.
 
+The concrete example, say, you want to change any particular config,like
+GCOV for profiling, you can simply use this command

+To enable:
+
+#scripts/config --enable GCOV_KERNEL  && grep GCOV .config
+
+ and the output will be like this:
+
+  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
+
+To disable:
+
+#scripts/config --disable GCOV_KERNEL  && grep GCOV .config
+
+# CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL is not set

 $myname uses 'CONFIG_' as the default symbol prefix. Set the environment
 variable CONFIG_ to the prefix to use. Eg.: CONFIG_="FOO_" $myname ...
