+# Unstable kconfig module
+
+This module parses Kconfig output files to allow use of kconfig
+configurations in meson projects.
+
+**Note**: this does not provide kconfig frontend tooling to generate a
+configuration. You still need something such as kconfig frontends (see
+link below) to parse your Kconfig files, and then (after you've
+choosen the configuration options), output a ".config" file.
+
+  [kconfig-frontends]: http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends
+
+## Usage
+
+The module may be imported as follows:
+
+``` meson
+kconfig = import('unstable-kconfig')
+```
+
+The following functions will then be available as methods on the object
+with the name `kconfig`. You can, of course, replace the name
+`kconfig` with anything else.
+
+### kconfig.load()
+
+This function loads a kconfig output file and returns a dictionary object.
+
+`kconfig.load()` makes no attempt at parsing the values in the
+file.  Therefore, true boolean values will be represented as the string "y"
+and integer values will have to be converted with `.to_int()`.
+
+* The first (and only) argument is the path to the configuration file to
+  load (usually ".config").
+
+**Returns**: a [dictionary object](Reference-manual.md#dictionary-object).
