389 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
390 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
391 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
392 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
393 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
394 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is

1712 is usually a really bad idea.

1726 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the
1727 kernel believes it is unsafe: the kernel will remove the module
1728 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
1729 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.

1735 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.
1736 Saying Y here makes it sometimes possible to use modules
1737 compiled for different kernels, by adding enough information
1738 to the modules to (hopefully) spot any changes which would
1739 make them incompatible with the kernel you are running. If

1745 Modules which contain a MODULE_VERSION get an extra "srcversion"
1746 field inserted into their modinfo section, which contains a
1747 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
1748 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
1749 others sometimes change the module source without updating
1750 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
1751 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.
