+
+ It uses only vfork, so it can be used on uClinux systems.

+ bool "msh"
+ default n
+ help
+ The minix shell (adds just 30k) is quite complete and handles things
+ like for/do/done, case/esac and all the things you expect a Bourne
+ shell to do. It is not always pedantically correct about Bourne
+ shell grammar (try running the shell testscript "tests/sh.testcases"
+ on it and compare vs bash) but for most things it works quite well.
+ It uses only vfork, so it can be used on uClinux systems.

+ bool "Standalone shell"
+ default n
+ depends on (BUSYBOX_MSH || BUSYBOX_LASH || BUSYBOX_HUSH || BUSYBOX_ASH) && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
+ help
+ This option causes busybox shells to use busybox applets
+ in preference to executables in the PATH whenever possible. For
+ example, entering the command 'ifconfig' into the shell would cause
+ busybox to use the ifconfig busybox applet. Specifying the fully
+ qualified executable name, such as '/sbin/ifconfig' will still
+ execute the /sbin/ifconfig executable on the filesystem. This option
+ is generally used when creating a statically linked version of busybox
+ for use as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system.
+
+ This is implemented by re-execing /proc/self/exe (typically)
+ with right parameters. Some selected applets ("NOFORK" applets)
+ can even be executed without creating new process.
+ Instead, busybox will call <applet>_main() internally.
+
+ However, this causes problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc
+ and with ps/top (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets
+ started this way).
+# untrue?
+# Note that this will *also* cause applets to take precedence
+# over shell builtins of the same name. So turning this on will
+# eliminate any performance gained by turning on the builtin "echo"
+# and "test" commands in ash.
+# untrue?
+# Note that when using this option, the shell will attempt to directly
+# run '/bin/busybox'. If you do not have the busybox binary sitting in
+# that exact location with that exact name, this option will not work at
+# all.

+config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SH_NOFORK
+ bool "Run 'nofork' applets directly"
+ default n
+ depends on (BUSYBOX_MSH || BUSYBOX_LASH || BUSYBOX_HUSH || BUSYBOX_ASH) && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_PREFER_APPLETS
+ help
+ This option causes busybox shells [currently only ash]
+ to not execute typical fork/exec/wait sequence, but call <applet>_main
+ directly, if possible. (Sometimes it is not possible: for example,
+ this is not possible in pipes).
+
+ This will be done only for some applets (those which are marked
+ NOFORK in include/applets.h).
+
+ This may significantly speed up some shell scripts.
+
+ This feature is relatively new. Use with care.
+
+config BUSYBOX_CTTYHACK
+ bool "cttyhack"
+ default n
+ help
+ One common problem reported on the mailing list is "can't access tty;
+ job control turned off" error message which typically appears when
+ one tries to use shell with stdin/stdout opened to /dev/console.
+ This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
+
+ Proper solution is to use correct device instead of /dev/console.
+
+ cttyhack provides "quick and dirty" solution to this problem.
+ It analyzes stdin with various ioctls, trying to determine whether
+ it is a /dev/ttyN or /dev/ttySN (virtual terminal or serial line).
+ If it detects one, it closes stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
+ Then it executes given program. Usage example for /etc/inittab
+ (for busybox init):
+
+ ::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
