# Sample usage:
-# define filechk_sample
-# echo $KERNELRELEASE
-# endef
-# version.h : Makefile
+#
+# filechk_sample = echo $(KERNELRELEASE)
+# version.h: FORCE
# $(call filechk,sample)
+#
# The rule defined shall write to stdout the content of the new file.
# The existing file will be compared with the new one.
# - If no file exist it is created
