| <h3>BusyBox: The Swiss Army Knife of Embedded Linux</h3> |
| <p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single |
| small executable. It provides replacements for most of the utilities you |
| usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The utilities in BusyBox |
| generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, |
| the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave |
| very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete |
| environment for any small or embedded system.</p> |
| <p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in |
| mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily include or exclude |
| commands (or features) at compile time. This makes it easy to customize |
| your embedded systems. To create a working system, just add some device |
| nodes in /dev, a few configuration files in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p> |
