# Beautify output
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
-# Normally, we echo the whole command before executing it. By making
-# that echo $($(quiet)$(cmd)), we now have the possibility to set
-# $(quiet) to choose other forms of output instead, e.g.
+# Most of build commands in Kbuild start with "cmd_". You can optionally define
+# "quiet_cmd_*". If defined, the short log is printed. Otherwise, no log from
+# that command is printed by default.
#
-# quiet_cmd_cc_o_c = Compiling $(RELDIR)/$@
-# cmd_cc_o_c = $(CC) $(c_flags) -c -o $@ $<
-#
-# If $(quiet) is empty, the whole command will be printed.
-# If it is set to "quiet_", only the short version will be printed.
-# If it is set to "silent_", nothing will be printed at all, since
-# the variable $(silent_cmd_cc_o_c) doesn't exist.
+# e.g.)
+# quiet_cmd_depmod = DEPMOD $(MODLIB)
+# cmd_depmod = $(srctree)/scripts/depmod.sh $(DEPMOD) $(KERNELRELEASE)
#
# A simple variant is to prefix commands with $(Q) - that's useful
# for commands that shall be hidden in non-verbose mode.
#
-# $(Q)ln $@ :<
+# $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=scripts/basic
#
# If KBUILD_VERBOSE equals 0 then the above command will be hidden.
# If KBUILD_VERBOSE equals 1 then the above command is displayed.
