"""
Generates a header file with #defines from the configuration, matching the
format of include/generated/autoconf.h in the Linux kernel.

Optionally, also writes the configuration output as a .config file. See
--config-out.

The --sync-deps, --file-list, and --env-list options generate information that
can be used to avoid needless rebuilds/reconfigurations.

Before writing a header or configuration file, Kconfiglib compares the old
contents of the file against the new contents. If there's no change, the write
is skipped. This avoids updating file metadata like the modification time, and
might save work depending on your build setup.

By default, the configuration is generated from '.config'. A different
configuration file can be passed in the KCONFIG_CONFIG environment variable.

A custom header string can be inserted at the beginning of generated
configuration and header files by setting the KCONFIG_CONFIG_HEADER and
KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER_HEADER environment variables, respectively (this also works
for other scripts). The string is not automatically made a comment (this is by
design, to allow anything to be added), and no trailing newline is added, so
add '/* */', '#', and newlines as appropriate.

See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Multi_002dLine for a
handy way to define multi-line variables in makefiles, for use with custom
headers. Remember to export the variable to the environment.

deps/auto.conf instead. --config-out is meant for cases where incremental build
