Eric Andersen | 5360182 | 2002-12-05 21:12:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 12 | There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations: |
| 13 | - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc. |
| 14 | - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack |
| 15 | space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine. |
| 16 | - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real |
| 17 | MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This |
| 18 | behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and |
| 19 | earlier. |

Eric Andersen | 5360182 | 2002-12-05 21:12:42 +0000 | [diff] [blame^] | 36 | All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when |
| 37 | busybox is invoked with --help. This will add lots of text to the |
| 38 | busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about |
| 39 | 13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration. |
