+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To convert the state (set/unset) of a variable into a ``true/false``
+string use the ``ptx/truefalse`` macro.
+If the given <variable> is set this macro expands to
+the string ``true``, if unset to ``false`` instead.
+
+Usage:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ -Dwith-something=$(call ptx/truefalse,<variable>)
+
+An example:
+
+.. code-block:: make
+
+ FOO_CONF_OPT += -Dwith-something=$(call ptx/truefalse,<variable>)
