I'm assuming you mean the generated configuration? It's literally just some boilerplate for fancy splash screens, and then menu entries. Each entry containing appropriate module loading, root configuration, kernel and initrd loading, and then boot commands. All of which is generated directly from /etc/grub.d/ and is pretty well documented[1]. It's the same set of commands you can use to load almost any kernel from almost any device almost anywhere on a system (or even the network), so it's pretty useful to learn if you maintain machines which occasionally need to do weird things. 1: https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/Configuration.html -- Don Armstrong https://www.donarmstrong.com A Bill of Rights that means what the majority wants it to mean is worthless. -- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia
