| Busybox is a multicall binary used to provide a minimal subset of |
| POSIX style commands and specialized functions. |
| |
| It is geared toward 'mini-systems' like boot floppies. Specifically |
| it is used in the Debian Rescue/Install system (which caused the |
| original busybox to be made), the Linux Router Project, and others. |
| |
| As of version 0.20 there is a version number. : ) |
| Also as of version 0.20, BB is modularized to allow an easy build of |
| only the BB parts you need, to reduce binary size. |
| |
| Edit the file busybox.def.h and comment out the parts you do not need |
| using C++ comments (//) |
| |
| After the build is complete a busybox.links file is generated to allow |
| you to easily make the sym/hard links to the busybox binary. |
| |
| Note the modular system is Makefile based, and purposely very |
| simplistic. It does no dependency checking. That is left for you |
| to figure out by trial and error. |
