This accepts a single command to execute.  It returns the standard
output from it.

[Example code]

  config HELLO
          string
          default "$(shell,echo hello world)"

  config Y
          def_bool $(shell,echo y)

[Result]

  $ make -s alldefconfig && tail -n 2 .config
  CONFIG_HELLO="hello world"
  CONFIG_Y=y

Caveat:
Like environments, functions are expanded in the lexer.  You cannot
pass symbols to function arguments.  This is a limitation to simplify
the implementation.  I want to avoid the dynamic function evaluation,
which would introduce much more complexity.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
