This script with ``--silent`` is really obsolete. The silent option really
adds default values. However, as of 217-07-09, defconfig files are retained
in a compressed format, i.e., with default values removed. So the
``--silent`` option will accomplish nothing. Without ``--silent``, you will
have the opportunity over override the default value from the command line
and, in that case, the script may still have some minimal value.

This is a bash script that automates refreshing board default configuration
(defconfig) files. It does not do anything special that you cannot do manually,
but is useful for updating dozens of configuration files. It is also used in the
NuttX CI process.

Configuration files have to be updated because, over time, the configuration
settings change; new configurations are added and new dependencies are added.
So an old configuration file may not be usable anymore until it is refreshed.

The steps to refresh the file taken by ``refresh.sh`` are:
The steps to refresh the configurations and/or files given to ``refresh.sh`` are:
1. Make ``tools/cmpconfig`` if it is not already built.
1. Copy the defconfig file to the top-level NuttX directory as ``.config`` and its
corresponding ``Make.defs`` file (being careful to save any previous identically
named files that you might want to keep).
2. Copy the defconfig file to the top-level NuttX directory as ``.config``
(being careful to save any previous ``.config`` file that you might want to
keep!).
3. Execute ``make` oldconfig` to update the configuration. ``make oldconfig``
2. Execute ``make oldconfig`` to update the configuration. ``make oldconfig``
will prompt you for each change in the configuration that requires that you
make some decision. With the ``--silent`` option, the script will use ``make
oldefconfig`` instead and you won't have to answer any questions; the refresh
will simply accept the default value for any new configuration settings.
make some decision. With the ``--defaults`` option, the script will use ``make
oldefconfig`` instead and you won't have to answer any question; the refresh
will simply accept the default value for any new configuration setting.
4. Then it runs ``tools/cmpconfig`` to show the real differences between the
configuration files. Configuration files are complex and things can move
around so a simple 'diff' between two configuration files is often not
useful. But tools/cmpconfig will show only the meaningful differences
between the two configuration files.
3. Execute ``make savedefconfig`` to create the new defconfig file. Any setting set
to its default value is stripped down from this file.
5. It will edit the .config file to comment out the setting of the
``CONFIG_APPS_DIR=`` setting. This setting should not be in checked-in
defconfig files because the actually must be determined at the next time that
the configuration is installed.
This will also strip down the ``CONFIG_APPS_DIR`` and ``CONFIG_BASE_DEFCONFIG``
settings. They should not be in checked-in defconfig files because they must be
determined each time the configuration is installed.
6. Finally, the refreshed defconfig file is copied back in place where it can be
committed with the next set of difference to the command line. If you select
the ``--silent`` option, this file copy will occur automatically. Otherwise,
refresh.sh will prompt you first to avoid overwriting the defconfig file with
changes that you may not want.
4. Check for any difference between the generated defconfig and the original
configuration file using the ``diff`` utility.
Usage examples:
If there are differences, it save the new configuration (with or without prompt
depending on the ``--silent`` and ``--prompt`` options).
5. Restore the ``.config`` and ``Make.defs`` files from step 1.
