11=head1 DESCRIPTION
12
13BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix utilities into
John Beppu46a4e762000-01-18 22:33:11 +0000[diff] [blame]14a single executable. This is a size optimization. Most people will create
15a symlink to busybox for each function name, and BusyBox will act like
16whatever you invoke it as.
