| Some BusyBox applets have more configuration options than anyone |
| will ever care about. To avoid drowining people in complexity, most |
| of the applet features that can be set to a sane default value are |

| default CONFIG_FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC |
| depends on CONFIG_NITPICK |
| help |
| There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations: |
| - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc. |
| - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack |
| space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine. |
| - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real |
| MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This |
| behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and |
| earlier. |

| bool "Show verbose applet usage messages" |
| default n |
| select CONFIG_SHOW_USAGE |
| help |
| All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when |

| busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about |
| 13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration. |

| when <applet> --help is called. |
| |
| If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and |
| bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might |
| be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM |
| and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise, |

| busybox will use /dev/ptmx for the master side of the pseudoterminal |
| and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style |
| /dev/ttyp<number> will be used. To use this option, you should have |

| config CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP |
| bool "Clean up all memory before exiting (usually not needed)" |
| default n |
| depends on CONFIG_NITPICK |
| help |
| As a size optimization, busybox normally exits without explicitly |
| freeing dynamically allocated memory or closing files. This saves |
| space since the OS will clean up for us, but it can confuse debuggers |
| like valgrind, which report tons of memory and resource leaks. |

| things up manually. |

| With this option you can install the busybox binary belonging |
| to root with the suid bit set, and it'll and it'll automatically drop |
| priviledges for applets that don't need root access. |
| |
| If you're really paranoid and don't want to do this, build two |
| busybox binaries with different applets in them (and the appropriate |
| symlinks pointing to each binary), and only set the suid bit on the |
| one that needs it. The applets currently marked to need the suid bit |
| are login, passwd, su, ping, traceroute, crontab, dnsd, ipcrm, ipcs, |
| and vlock. |

| The format of this file is as follows: |

| The file has to be owned by user root, group root and has to be |
| writeable only by root: |

| If you want to build BusyBox with large file support, then enable |
| this option. This will have no effect if your kernel or your C |
| library lacks large file support for large files. Some of the |

| config CONFIG_BUILD_AT_ONCE |

| help |
| Normally each source-file is compiled with one invocation of |
| the compiler. |
| If you set this option, all sources are compiled at once. |
| This gives the compiler more opportunities to optimize which can |
| result in smaller and/or faster binaries. |
| |
| Setting this option will consume alot of memory, e.g. if you |
| enable all applets with all features, gcc uses more than 300MB |
| RAM during compilation of busybox. |
| |
| This option is most likely only beneficial for newer compilers |
| such as gcc-4.1 and above. |

| dmalloc support: |
| ---------------- |
| This enables compiling with dmalloc ( http://dmalloc.com/ ) |
| which is an excellent public domain mem leak and malloc problem |
| detector. To enable dmalloc, before running busybox you will |
| want to properly set your environment, for example: |
| export DMALLOC_OPTIONS=debug=0x34f47d83,inter=100,log=logfile |
| The 'debug=' value is generated using the following command |
| dmalloc -p log-stats -p log-non-free -p log-bad-space -p log-elapsed-time \ |
| -p check-fence -p check-heap -p check-lists -p check-blank \ |
| -p check-funcs -p realloc-copy -p allow-free-null |
| |
| Electric-fence support: |
| ----------------------- |
| This enables compiling with Electric-fence support. Electric |
| fence is another very useful malloc debugging library which uses |
| your computer's virtual memory hardware to detect illegal memory |
