help
Tha 'ash' shell adds about 60k in the default configuration and is
the most complete and most pedantically correct shell included with
busybox. This shell is actually a derivative of the Debian 'dash'
shell (by Herbert Xu), which was created by porting the 'ash' shell
(written by Kenneth Almquist) from NetBSD.

depends on CONFIG_ASH
config CONFIG_ASH_JOB_CONTROL
bool " Enable Job control"
default y
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable job control in the ash shell.
config CONFIG_ASH_READ_NCHARS
bool " Enable 'read -n N' and 'read -s' support"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
'read -n N' will return a value after N characters have been read.
'read -s' will read without echoing the user's input.
config CONFIG_ASH_READ_TIMEOUT
bool " Enable 'read -t S' support."
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
'read -t S' will return a value after S seconds have passed.
This implementation will allow fractional seconds, expressed
as a decimal fraction, e.g. 'read -t 2.5 foo'.
config CONFIG_ASH_ALIAS
bool " Enable alias support"
default y
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable alias support in the ash shell.
config CONFIG_ASH_MATH_SUPPORT
bool " Enable Posix math support"
default y
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable math support in the ash shell.
config CONFIG_ASH_MATH_SUPPORT_64
bool " Extend Posix math support to 64 bit"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH_MATH_SUPPORT
help
Enable 64-bit math support in the ash shell. This will make
the shell slightly larger, but will allow computation with very
large numbers.
config CONFIG_ASH_GETOPTS
bool " Enable getopts builtin to parse positional parameters"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable getopts builtin in the ash shell.
config CONFIG_ASH_CMDCMD
bool " Enable cmdcmd to override shell builtins"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable support for the ash 'command' builtin, which allows
you to run the specified command with the specified arguments,
even when there is an ash builtin command with the same name.
config CONFIG_ASH_BUILTIN_ECHO
bool " Enable builtin version of 'echo'"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable support for echo, built in to ash.
# this entry also appears in coreutils/Config.in, next to the echo applet
config CONFIG_FEATURE_FANCY_ECHO
bool " Enable echo options (-n and -e)"
default y
depends on CONFIG_ASH_BUILTIN_ECHO
help
This adds options (-n and -e) to echo.
config CONFIG_ASH_MAIL
bool " Check for new mail on interactive shells"
default y
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable "check for new mail" in the ash shell.
config CONFIG_ASH_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
bool " Optimize for size instead of speed"
default y
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Compile ash for reduced size at price of speed.
config CONFIG_ASH_RANDOM_SUPPORT
bool " Enable pseudorandom generator and variable $RANDOM"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
Enable pseudorandom generator and dynamic variable "$RANDOM".
Each read of "$RANDOM" will generate a new pseudorandom value.
You can reset the generator by using a specified start value.
After "unset RANDOM" then generator will switch off and this
variable will no longer have special treatment.
config CONFIG_ASH_EXPAND_PRMT
bool " Support expand PS#"
default n
depends on CONFIG_ASH
help
"PS#" may be have commands. It option enable expand string
from prompt before each show.
config CONFIG_HUSH
bool "hush"
default n
help
hush is a very small shell (just 18k) and it has fairly complete
Bourne shell grammar. It even handles all the normal flow control
options such as if/then/elif/else/fi, for/in/do/done, while loops,
etc.
It does not handle case/esac, select, function, here documents ( <<
word ), arithmetic expansion, aliases, brace expansion, tilde
expansion, &> and >& redirection of stdout+stderr, etc.
config CONFIG_LASH
bool "lash"
default n
help
lash is the very smallest shell (adds just 10k) and it is quite
usable as a command prompt, but it is not suitable for any but the
most trivial scripting (such as an initrd that calls insmod a few
times) since it does not understand any Bourne shell grammar. It
does handle pipes, redirects, and job control though. Adding in
command editing makes it a very nice lightweight command prompt.
config CONFIG_MSH
bool "msh"
default n
help
The minix shell (adds just 30k) is quite complete and handles things
like for/do/done, case/esac and all the things you expect a Bourne
shell to do. It is not always pedantically correct about Bourne
shell grammar (try running the shell testscript "tests/sh.testcases"
on it and compare vs bash) but for most things it works quite well.
It also uses only vfork, so it can be used on uClinux systems.

config CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_EXTRA_QUIET
bool "Hide message on interactive shell startup"
default n
depends on CONFIG_MSH || CONFIG_LASH || CONFIG_HUSH || CONFIG_ASH
help
Remove the busybox introduction when starting a shell.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_STANDALONE_SHELL
bool "Standalone shell"
default n
depends on CONFIG_MSH || CONFIG_LASH || CONFIG_HUSH || CONFIG_ASH
help
This option causes the selected busybox shell to use busybox applets
in preference to executables in the PATH whenever possible. For
example, entering the command 'ifconfig' into the shell would cause
busybox to use the ifconfig busybox applet. Specifying the fully
qualified executable name, such as '/sbin/ifconfig' will still
execute the /sbin/ifconfig executable on the filesystem. This option
is generally used when creating a staticly linked version of busybox
for use as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system.
Note that when using this option, the shell will attempt to directly
run '/bin/busybox'. If you do not have the busybox binary sitting in
that exact location with that exact name, this option will not work at
all.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_COMMAND_EDITING
bool "command line editing"
default n

turned on and off with "set -o vi" and "set +o vi".

Specify command history size in shell.
config CONFIG_FEATURE_COMMAND_SAVEHISTORY

config CONFIG_FEATURE_SH_FANCY_PROMPT
bool "Fancy shell prompts"
default n
depends on CONFIG_FEATURE_COMMAND_EDITING
help
Setting this option allows for prompts to use things like \w and
\$ and also using escape codes.
