+//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.
