# ----------------------------------------------------------------------
# extract-ikconfig - Extract the .config file from a kernel image
#
# This will only work when the kernel was compiled with CONFIG_IKCONFIG.
#
# The obscure use of the "tr" filter is to work around older versions of
# "grep" that report the byte offset of the line instead of the pattern.
