So if you know the name of the config option is question (or its placement in the directory hierarcy) you can grep -r for it and read/grep/parse the Kconfig file in question.

Thank you Rasmus, that's what I was after. Using less on the relevant Kconfig file shows me all the help files in a row for the particular module e.g. less /usr/src/linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5/drivers/rtc/Kconfig -- Regards, Mick pgpS6g3HfNeNe.pgp Description: PGP signature
