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.

Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000278 sometimes needs to exec() itself. When the /proc filesystem is
Rob Landleyc7ddefc2006-06-14 01:24:33 +0000279 mounted, /proc/self/exe always points to the currently running
Bernhard Reutner-Fischer3e8669f2008-07-22 18:27:53 +0000280 executable. If you haven't got /proc, set this to wherever you
Rob Landleyc7ddefc2006-06-14 01:24:33 +0000281 want to run BusyBox from.
