Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000054 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
55 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
56 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000057 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000058 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
59 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
60 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
61 earlier.

318 This is an experimental option which directs applets about to
319 call 'exec' to try and find an applicable busybox applet before
Denis Vlasenko92c0b822007-05-08 17:27:17 +0000320 searching the PATH. This is typically done by exec'ing
321 /proc/self/exe.
322 This may affect shell, find -exec, xargs and similar applets.
323 They will use applets even if /bin/<applet> -> busybox link
324 is missing (or is not a link to busybox). However, this causes
325 problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc and with ps/top
326 (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets started this way).

602 free inodes on the filesystem, but might help with filesystem
603 generators that can't cope with hard-links.
