13 help
Denys Vlasenko86d5bf42017-07-27 02:59:13 +020014 There are 3 ways busybox can handle buffer allocations:
Denys Vlasenko72089cf2017-07-21 09:50:55 +020015 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
16 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
17 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
18 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
19 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
Denys Vlasenko86d5bf42017-07-27 02:59:13 +020020 behavior was the only one available for versions 0.48 and earlier.

338 help
Denys Vlasenko72089cf2017-07-21 09:50:55 +0200339 When enabled, busybox will use the kernel sendfile() function
340 instead of read/write loops to copy data between file descriptors
341 (for example, cp command does this a lot).
342 If sendfile() doesn't work, copying code falls back to read/write
343 loop. sendfile() was originally implemented for faster I/O
344 from files to sockets, but since Linux 2.6.33 it was extended
345 to work for many more file types.

Denys Vlasenko72089cf2017-07-21 09:50:55 +0200363 In Linux, kernel has a special filesystem, rootfs, which is initially
364 mounted on /. It contains initramfs data, if kernel is configured
365 to have one. Usually, another file system is mounted over / early
366 in boot process, and therefore most tools which manipulate
367 mount table, such as df, will skip rootfs entry.
Lauri Kasanen55ae0e92011-01-31 06:27:35 +0100368
Denys Vlasenko72089cf2017-07-21 09:50:55 +0200369 However, some systems do not mount anything on /.
370 If you need to configure busybox for one of these systems,
371 you may find it useful to turn this option off to make df show
372 initramfs statistics.
