| config AR |
| bool "ar" |
| default n |
| help |
| ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and |
| extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding |
| a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to |
| retrieve the original individual files (called archive members). |
| The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner, |
| and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on |
| extraction. |
| |
| The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information |
| see long filename support). |
| ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file. |
| |
| This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or |
| modify them. |
| On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K. |
| |
| Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should |
| probably say N here. |
| |
| config FEATURE_AR_LONG_FILENAMES |
| bool "Support for long filenames (not needed for debs)" |
| default n |
| depends on AR |
| help |
| By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters |
| of the filename, this option removes that limitation. |
| It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long |
| filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry. |
| |
| config FEATURE_AR_CREATE |
| bool "Support archive creation" |
| default n |
| depends on AR |
| help |
| This enables archive creation (-c and -r) with busybox ar. |

| config BUNZIP2 |
| bool "bunzip2" |
| default n |
| help |
| bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block |
| sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression |
| is generally considerably better than that achieved by more |
| conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the |
| performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors. |
| |
| Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you |

| help |
| cpio is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and |
| extract contents from archives. |
| cpio has 110 bytes of overheads for every stored file. |
| |
| This implementation of cpio can extract cpio archives created in the |
| "newc" or "crc" format, it cannot create or modify them. |

| |
| config FEATURE_DPKG_DEB_EXTRACT_ONLY |
| bool "Extract only (-x)" |
| default n |
| depends on DPKG_DEB |
| help |
| This reduces dpkg-deb to the equivalent of |
| "ar -p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar -zx". However it saves space as none |
| of the extra dpkg-deb, ar or tar options are needed, they are linked |
| to internally. |
| |
| config GUNZIP |
| bool "gunzip" |
| default n |
| help |
| gunzip is used to decompress archives created by gzip. |
| You can use the `-t' option to test the integrity of |
| an archive, without decompressing it. |
| |
| config GZIP |

| High levels (7,8,9) of lzop compression. These levels |
| are actually slower than gzip at equivalent compression ratios |
| and take up 3.2K of code. |
