Template talk:Kernelconf2
This template is used to automatically determine the menuconfig path for a kernel option given as variable. It also formats the output properly and allows specification if the option should be built into the kernel, as module or not at all.
Purpose
The goal is to provide a template that can automatically determine the output format so that
standard wiki text
{{kernelconf2|Device Drivers|}}
{{kernelconf2|USB support|}}
{{kernelconf2|CONFIG_USB|m}}
{{kernelconf2|CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS|m}}
continuing wiki text
would result in something like:
standard wiki text
- Device Drivers →
- USB support →
- Support for Host-side USB (CONFIG_USB=m)
- USB device file system (CONFIG_USB_DEVICSFS=m)
- USB support →
continuing wiki text
and
standard wiki text {{kernelconf2|CONFIG_USB|m}} continuing wiki text
would result in
standard wiki text Support for Host-side USB (CONFIG_USB=m) continuing wiki text
Usage
Scheme
{{kernelconf2|<CONFIG-Variable>|<BuildMode>}} with
- <CONFIG-Variable> being a variable name as found in the kernels .config file,
- <BuildMode>=[y,m, ].
Example
:{{kernelconf2|CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD|m}} shows as
- {{kcprint_{{{3}}}|optname=|optparent=|opttype=m|optvar=CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD|mode={{{3}}}
name=Device Drivers →|parent=| name=USB support →|parent=Device_Drivers| name=Support for Host-side USB|parent=USB_support| name=USB device file system|parent=USB_support| name=EHCI HCD (USB 2.0) support|parent=USB_support| optname=UHCI HCD support|optparent=USB_support| name=OHCI HCD support|parent=USB_support }}
Inner Workings
The template calls Template:kc2 where the bigger part of the logic happens. This template only sets all the possible parameters (which match all kernel config variable names) to the empty string (which is necessary because of MediaWikis suboptimal parsing behavior). Finally, the parameter (variable name) given ain the first parameter value of the template call is assigned the value 2. All other parameters are just forwarded to Template:kc2, thereby naming them so they get position independent for further processing.
