Since commit 84af7a6194 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.
This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.
There are a variety of indentation styles found.
a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation)
f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'
In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:
$ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

PPP (Point to Point Protocol) is a newer and better SLIP. It serves
|
|
the same purpose: sending Internet traffic over telephone (and other
|
|
serial) lines. Ask your access provider if they support it, because
|
|
otherwise you can't use it; most Internet access providers these
|
|
days support PPP rather than SLIP.
|
|
|
|
To use PPP, you need an additional program called pppd as described
|
|
in the PPP-HOWTO, available at
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Make sure that you have
|
|
the version of pppd recommended in <file:Documentation/Changes>.
|
|
The PPP option enlarges your kernel by about 16 KB.
|
|
|
|
There are actually two versions of PPP: the traditional PPP for
|
|
asynchronous lines, such as regular analog phone lines, and
|
|
synchronous PPP which can be used over digital ISDN lines for
|
|
example. If you want to use PPP over phone lines or other
|
|
asynchronous serial lines, you need to say Y (or M) here and also to
|
|
the next option, "PPP support for async serial ports". For PPP over
|
|
synchronous lines, you should say Y (or M) here and to "Support
|
|
synchronous PPP", below.
|
|
|
|
If you said Y to "Version information on all symbols" above, then
|
|
you cannot compile the PPP driver into the kernel; you can then only
|
|
compile it as a module. To compile this driver as a module, choose M
|
|
here. The module will be called ppp_generic.

help
|
|
Support for the BSD-Compress compression method for PPP, which uses
|
|
the LZW compression method to compress each PPP packet before it is
|
|
sent over the wire. The machine at the other end of the PPP link
|
|
(usually your ISP) has to support the BSD-Compress compression
|
|
method as well for this to be useful. Even if they don't support it,
|
|
it is safe to say Y here.
|
|
|
|
The PPP Deflate compression method ("PPP Deflate compression",
|
|
above) is preferable to BSD-Compress, because it compresses better
|
|
and is patent-free.
|
|
|
|
Note that the BSD compression code will always be compiled as a
|
|
module; it is called bsd_comp and will show up in the directory
|
|
modules once you have said "make modules". If unsure, say N.

Say Y here if you want to be able to filter the packets passing over

PPP interfaces. This allows you to control which packets count as
|
|
activity (i.e. which packets will reset the idle timer or bring up
|
|
a demand-dialed link) and which packets are to be dropped entirely.
|
|
You need to say Y here if you wish to use the pass-filter and

active-filter options to pppd.

PPP multilink is a protocol (defined in RFC 1990) which allows you
|
|
to combine several (logical or physical) lines into one logical PPP
|
|
connection, so that you can utilize your full bandwidth.
|
|

This has to be supported at the other end as well and you need a

version of the pppd daemon which understands the multilink protocol.
