31 Busybox aims to eventually work correctly with Unicode displays.
32 Any older encodings are not guaranteed to work.
33 Probably by the time when busybox will be fully Unicode-clean,
34 other encodings will be mainly of historic interest.

Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000040 There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
41 - Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
42 - Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +000043 space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
Eric Andersen53601822002-12-05 21:12:42 +000044 - Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
45 MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
46 behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
47 earlier.
