+config command
+==============
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+ config [<str>]
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The config command prints the `.config` file used when building U-Boot
+to the console. Note that the `.config` file is usually several 1000
+lines long.
+
+If the optional argument is given, only lines containing that string
+(case insensitively) are printed. That can be useful if one wants to
+check whether a specific option is enabled, or just to limit the
+output to the subsystem of interest.
+
+The `.config` file is stored inside the U-Boot binary in
+gzip-compressed format.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # Print the entire .config
+ config
+
+ # Print all lines related to pinctrl
+ config pinctrl
