//config: help
//config: dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
//config: Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
//config: the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
//config: buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
//config: ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
//config: are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
//config: wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.

//config: If you wish to scrub the syslog level from the output, say 'Y' here.
//config: The syslog level is a string prefixed to every line with the form
//config: "<#>".
