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.

Denys Vlasenko94c78aa2021-10-12 13:23:29 +0200122 When enabled, busybox will use the kernel sendfile() function
123 instead of read/write loops to copy data between file descriptors

125 If sendfile() doesn't work, copying code falls back to read/write
126 loop. sendfile() was originally implemented for faster I/O
127 from files to sockets, but since Linux 2.6.33 it was extended

Denys Vlasenko72089cf2017-07-21 09:50:55 +0200355 In most cases it's enough to treat only ASCII non-letters
356 (i.e. punctuation, numbers and space) as characters
357 with neutral directionality.
358 With this option on, more extensive (and bigger) table
359 of neutral chars will be used.

Denys Vlasenko72089cf2017-07-21 09:50:55 +0200366 With this option on, on line-editing input (such as used by shells)
367 invalid UTF-8 bytes are not substituted with the selected
368 substitution character.
369 For example, this means that entering 'l', 's', ' ', 0xff, [Enter]
370 at shell prompt will list file named 0xff (single char name
371 with char value 255), not file named '?'.
