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.
