+Environment variables for 'randconfig'
+
+KCONFIG_SEED
+--------------------------------------------------
+You can set this to the integer value used to seed the RNG, if you want
+to somehow debug the behaviour of the kconfig parser/frontends.
+If not set, the current time will be used.
+
+KCONFIG_PROBABILITY
+--------------------------------------------------
+This variable can be used to skew the probabilities. This variable can
+be unset or empty, or set to three different formats:
+ KCONFIG_PROBABILITY y:n split y:m:n split
+ -----------------------------------------------------------------
+ unset or empty 50 : 50 33 : 33 : 34
+ N N : 100-N N/2 : N/2 : 100-N
+ [1] N:M N+M : 100-(N+M) N : M : 100-(N+M)
+ [2] N:M:L N : 100-N M : L : 100-(M+L)
+
+where N, M and L are integers (in base 10) in the range [0,100], and so
+that:
+ [1] N+M is in the range [0,100]
+ [2] M+L is in the range [0,100]
+
+Examples:
+ KCONFIG_PROBABILITY=10
+ 10% of booleans will be set to 'y', 90% to 'n'
+ 5% of tristates will be set to 'y', 5% to 'm', 90% to 'n'
+ KCONFIG_PROBABILITY=15:25
+ 40% of booleans will be set to 'y', 60% to 'n'
+ 15% of tristates will be set to 'y', 25% to 'm', 60% to 'n'
+ KCONFIG_PROBABILITY=10:15:15
+ 10% of booleans will be set to 'y', 90% to 'n'
+ 15% of tristates will be set to 'y', 15% to 'm', 70% to 'n'
