NAME
/proc/config.gz - kernel build configuration
DESCRIPTION
/proc/config.gz (since Linux 2.6)
This file exposes the configuration options that were used
to build the currently running kernel, in the same format
as they would be shown in the .config file that resulted
when configuring the kernel (using make xconfig, make
config, or similar). The file contents are compressed;
view or search them using zcat(1) and zgrep(1). As long
as no changes have been made to the following file, the
contents of /proc/config.gz are the same as those provided
by:
cat /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/.config
/proc/config.gz is provided only if the kernel is
configured with CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC.
