23 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_COMPRESS_BBCONFIG
24 bool "Compress bbconfig data"
25 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_COMPRESS_BBCONFIG
26 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BBCONFIG
28 Store bbconfig data in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
31 If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
32 bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
33 be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
34 and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
35 you probably want this.
36 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BC
38 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_BC
39 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_DC_BIG
41 bc is a command-line, arbitrary-precision calculator with a
42 Turing-complete language. See the GNU bc manual
43 (https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/bc.html) and bc spec
44 (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/bc.html).
46 This bc has five differences to the GNU bc:
47 1) The period (.) is a shortcut for "last", as in the BSD bc.
48 2) Arrays are copied before being passed as arguments to
49 functions. This behavior is required by the bc spec.
50 3) Arrays can be passed to the builtin "length" function to get
51 the number of elements in the array. This prints "1":
53 4) The precedence of the boolean "not" operator (!) is equal to
54 that of the unary minus (-) negation operator. This still
55 allows POSIX-compliant scripts to work while somewhat
56 preserving expected behavior (versus C) and making parsing
58 5) "read()" accepts expressions, not only numeric literals.
60 config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DC
62 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_DC
64 dc is a reverse-polish notation command-line calculator which
65 supports unlimited precision arithmetic. See the FreeBSD man page
66 (https://www.unix.com/man-page/FreeBSD/1/dc/) and GNU dc manual
67 (https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/dc-1.05/html_mono/dc.html).
69 This dc has a few differences from the two above:
70 1) When printing a byte stream (command "P"), this dc follows what
72 2) Implements the GNU extensions for divmod ("~") and
73 modular exponentiation ("|").
74 3) Implements all FreeBSD extensions, except for "J" and "M".
75 4) Like the FreeBSD dc, this dc supports extended registers.
76 However, they are implemented differently. When it encounters
77 whitespace where a register should be, it skips the whitespace.
78 If the character following is not a lowercase letter, an error
79 is issued. Otherwise, the register name is parsed by the
80 following regex: [a-z][a-z0-9_]*
81 This generally means that register names will be surrounded by
83 l idx s temp L index S temp2 < do_thing
84 Also note that, like the FreeBSD dc, extended registers are not
85 allowed unless the "-x" option is given.

103 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_BC_INTERACTIVE
104 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BC || (BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DC && BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_DC_BIG)
106 Enable interactive mode: when started on a tty,
107 ^C interrupts execution and returns to command line,
108 errors also return to command line instead of exiting,
109 line editing with history is available.
111 With this option off, input can still be taken from tty,
112 but all errors are fatal, ^C is fatal,
113 tty is treated exactly the same as any other
114 standard input (IOW: no line editing).

188 depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT
189 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_FEATURE_CHAT_SEND_ESCAPES
191 Original chat uses some escape sequences in SEND arguments which
192 are not sent to device but rather performs special actions.
193 E.g. "\K" means to send a break sequence to device.
194 "\d" delays execution for a second, "\p" -- for a 1/100 of second.

225 files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
226 This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
227 format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:

324 This is obsolete and should NOT be used anymore.
325 Use linux >= 2.6 (optionally with hotplug) and mdev instead!
327 For legacy systems -- if there is no way around devfsd -- this
328 tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of
329 /dev/loop0. If your /dev directory has normal names instead of

674 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
676 Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that
677 subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O.
679 This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file.
680 It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files
681 or executables before they are used. When used at the right time
682 (in particular when a CPU bound process is running) it can
683 significantly speed up system startup.
685 As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to
686 run this applet as a background job.

802 bool "watchdog (5.3 kb)"
803 default BUSYBOX_DEFAULT_WATCHDOG
804 select BUSYBOX_CONFIG_PLATFORM_LINUX
806 The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog
807 device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file
808 and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the
809 watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a
810 certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has
811 hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot.
