performs a function similar to that of but has some semantic differences in order to preserve compatibility with previous releases. will
build a new kernel executable only if needed to effect the requested changes. may reuse existing kernel executables when possible.
Options

Specify the target kernel path.
If the target kernel path specified is changes are applied to the currently running kernel configuration. They will take effect
immediately if possible; otherwise, they will take effect at next boot.
If the target kernel path specified is of the form changes are applied to the saved kernel configuration named config. The
changes will not take effect at next boot unless that saved kernel configuration was already marked for use at next boot.
If the target kernel name is a single word containing no slashes, that name is used as the name of a saved kernel configuration.
The changes are applied to that saved kernel configuration. The changes will not take effect at next boot unless that saved ker-
nel configuration was already marked for use at next boot.
If the target kernel path is not one of the forms specified above, then exits with an error. Other locations for kernel exe-
cutable files are no longer supported.
If the option is not specified, the changes are applied to the kernel configuration called The changes will not take effect at
next boot unless that kernel configuration was already marked for use at next boot.
