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.
