[Buildroot] [Question] How is the kconfig parser working ?

[Frank Ihle]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to parse some packages in the Buildroot directory and their dependencies. 

I've seen that BR is using the lxdialog. I already got it running to load the "config.in"s with my own frontends. But what I couldn't figure out is how to get the information of a specific package, e.g.: how can I trigger the parser to print all names and dependencies of the packages e.g. in the "audio/video" section? Is it even possible to parse all of the Config.in easily? The "conf_parse()" in zconf.y looks like to me it is parsing the .config and not the Config.in - but maybe I got this part wrong. 

I guess this would lead to a long answer, therefor maybe you can just point me to the right direction, like: where BR itself uses this functionality, an example, or a helpful link in the internet.

Kind Regards

Frank
