|
+The +make *config+ commands also offer a search tool. Read the help
|
|
|
|
+message in the different frontend menus to know how to use it:
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+* in _menuconfig_, the search tool is called by pressing +/+;
|
|
|
|
+* in _xconfig_, the search tool is called by pressing +Ctrl+ + +f+.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+The result of the search shows the help message of the matching items.
|
|
|
|
+In _menuconfig_, numbers in the left column provide a shortcut to the
|
|
|
|
+corresponding entry. Just type this number to directly jump to the
|
|
|
|
+entry, or to the containing menu in case the entry is not selectable due
|
|
|
|
+to a missing dependency.
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
+Although the menu structure and the help text of the entries should be
|
|
|
|
+sufficiently self-explanatory, a number of topics require additional
|
|
|
|
+explanation that cannot easily be covered in the help text and are
|
|
|

+therefore covered in the following sections.
