# # For a description of the syntax of this configuration file, # see scripts/kbuild/config-language.txt. # menu "Miscellaneous Utilities" config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_ADJTIMEX bool "adjtimex" default n help Adjtimex reads and optionally sets adjustment parameters for the Linux clock adjustment algorithm. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_BBCONFIG bool "bbconfig" default n help The bbconfig applet will print the config file with which busybox was built. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT bool "chat" default n help Simple chat utility. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_NOFAIL bool "Enable NOFAIL expect strings" depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT default n help When enabled expect strings which are started with a dash trigger no-fail mode. That is when expectation is not met within timeout the script is not terminated but sends next SEND string and waits for next EXPECT string. This allows to compose far more flexible scripts. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_TTY_HIFI bool "Force STDIN to be a TTY" depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT default n help Original chat always treats STDIN as a TTY device and sets for it so-called raw mode. This option turns on such behaviour. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_IMPLICIT_CR bool "Enable implicit Carriage Return" depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT default n help When enabled make chat to terminate all SEND strings with a "\r" unless "\c" is met anywhere in the string. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_SWALLOW_OPTS bool "Swallow options" depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT default n help Busybox chat require no options.

E.g. "\K" means to send a break sequence to device. "\d" delays execution for a second, "\p" -- for a 1/100 of second. Before turning this option on think twice: do you really need them? config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_CHAT_VAR_ABORT_LEN bool "Support variable-length ABORT conditions" depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_CHAT default n help Original chat uses fixed 50-bytes length ABORT conditions.

Use linux >= 2.6 (optionally with hotplug) and mdev instead! See docs/mdev.txt for detailed instructions on how to use mdev instead. Provides compatibility with old device names on a devfs systems. You should set it to true if you have devfs enabled. The following keywords in devsfd.conf are supported: "CLEAR_CONFIG", "INCLUDE", "OPTIONAL_INCLUDE", "RESTORE", "PERMISSIONS", "EXECUTE", "COPY", "IGNORE", "MKOLDCOMPAT", "MKNEWCOMPAT","RMOLDCOMPAT", "RMNEWCOMPAT". But only if they are written UPPERCASE!!!!!!!! config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD_MODLOAD bool "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD help This actually doesn't work with busybox modutils but needs the external modutils. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD_FG_NP bool "Enables the -fg and -np options" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVFSD help -fg Run the daemon in the foreground. -np Exit after parsing the configuration file.

Use linux >= 2.6 (optionally with hotplug) and mdev instead! For legacy systems -- if there is no way around devfsd -- this tells busybox to look for names like /dev/loop/0 instead of /dev/loop0. If your /dev directory has normal names instead of devfs names, you don't want this. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_DEVMEM bool "devmem" default n help devmem is a small program that reads and writes from physical memory using /dev/mem. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_EJECT bool "eject" default n help Used to eject cdroms. (defaults to /dev/cdrom) config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_EJECT_SCSI bool "SCSI support" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_EJECT help Add the -s option to eject, this allows to eject SCSI-Devices and usb-storage devices. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FBSPLASH bool "fbsplash" default n help Shows splash image and progress bar on framebuffer device.

The -m flag enables a simpler status line with a percentage. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_MARKS bool "Enable marks" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS help Marks enable positions in a file to be stored for easy reference. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_REGEXP bool "Enable regular expressions" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS help Enable regular expressions, allowing complex file searches. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_WINCH bool "Enable automatic resizing on window size changes" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS help Makes less track window size changes. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_DASHCMD bool "Enable flag changes ('-' command)" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LESS help This enables the ability to change command-line flags within less itself ('-' keyboard command). config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_LINENUMS bool "Enable dynamic switching of line numbers" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_LESS_DASHCMD help Enable "-N" command. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_HDPARM bool "hdparm" default n help Get/Set hard drive parameters.

There are two choices for command line behaviour, the interface as used by LEAF/Linux Router Project, or a device table file. . 'leaf' is traditionally what busybox follows, it allows multiple devices of a particluar type to be created per command. e.g. /dev/hda[0-9] Device properties are passed as command line arguments. . 'table' reads device properties from a file or stdin, allowing a batch of unrelated devices to be made with one command. User/group names are allowed as an alternative to uid/gid. choice prompt "Choose makedevs behaviour" depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MAKEDEVS default BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MAKEDEVS_TABLE config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MAKEDEVS_LEAF bool "leaf" config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FEATURE_MAKEDEVS_TABLE bool "table" endchoice config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MAN bool "man" default n help Format and display manual pages. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MICROCOM bool "microcom" default n help The poor man's minicom utility for chatting with serial port devices. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MOUNTPOINT bool "mountpoint" default n help mountpoint checks if the directory is a mountpoint. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_MT bool "mt" default n help mt is used to control tape devices. You can use the mt utility to advance or rewind a tape past a specified number of archive files on the tape. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RAIDAUTORUN bool "raidautorun" default n help raidautorun tells the kernel md driver to search and start RAID arrays. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_READAHEAD bool "readahead" default n depends on BUSYBOX_CONFIG_LFS help Preload the files listed on the command line into RAM cache so that subsequent reads on these files will not block on disk I/O. This applet just calls the readahead(2) system call on each file. It is mainly useful in system startup scripts to preload files or executables before they are used. When used at the right time (in particular when a CPU bound process is running) it can significantly speed up system startup. As readahead(2) blocks until each file has been read, it is best to run this applet as a background job. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RUNLEVEL bool "runlevel" default n help find the current and previous system runlevel. This applet uses utmp but does not rely on busybox supporing utmp on purpose. It is used by e.g. emdebian via /etc/init.d/rc. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_RX bool "rx" default n help Receive files using the Xmodem protocol. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_SETSID bool "setsid" default n help setsid runs a program in a new session config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_STRINGS bool "strings" default y help strings prints the printable character sequences for each file specified. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_TASKSET bool "taskset" default n help Retrieve or set a processes's CPU affinity.

When the command finishes, time writes a message to standard output giving timing statistics about this program run. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_TIMEOUT bool "timeout" default n help Runs a program and watches it. If it does not terminate in specified number of seconds, it is sent a signal. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_TTYSIZE bool "ttysize" default n help A replacement for "stty size". Unlike stty, can report only width, only height, or both, in any order. It also does not complain on error, but returns default 80x24. Usage in shell scripts: width=`ttysize w`. config BUSYBOX_CONFIG_WATCHDOG bool "watchdog" default y help The watchdog utility is used with hardware or software watchdog device drivers. It opens the specified watchdog device special file and periodically writes a magic character to the device. If the watchdog applet ever fails to write the magic character within a certain amount of time, the watchdog device assumes the system has hung, and will cause the hardware to reboot. endmenu
