config BUSYBOX_ADJTIMEX
bool "adjtimex (4.7 kb)"
default y
help
Adjtimex reads and optionally sets adjustment parameters for
the Linux clock adjustment algorithm.
config BUSYBOX_ASCII
bool "ascii"
default y
help
Print ascii table.
config BUSYBOX_BBCONFIG
bool "bbconfig (9.7 kb)"
default n
help
The bbconfig applet will print the config file with which
busybox was built.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_COMPRESS_BBCONFIG
bool "Compress bbconfig data"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_BBCONFIG
help
Store bbconfig data in compressed form, uncompress them on-the-fly
before output.
If you have a really tiny busybox with few applets enabled (and
bunzip2 isn't one of them), the overhead of the decompressor might
be noticeable. Also, if you run executables directly from ROM
and have very little memory, this might not be a win. Otherwise,
you probably want this.
config BUSYBOX_BC
bool "bc (45 kb)"
default y
select BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DC_BIG
help
bc is a command-line, arbitrary-precision calculator with a
Turing-complete language. See the GNU bc manual
(https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/bc.html) and bc spec
(http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/bc.html).
This bc has five differences to the GNU bc:
1) The period (.) is a shortcut for "last", as in the BSD bc.
2) Arrays are copied before being passed as arguments to
functions. This behavior is required by the bc spec.
3) Arrays can be passed to the builtin "length" function to get
the number of elements in the array. This prints "1":
a[0] = 0; length(a[])
4) The precedence of the boolean "not" operator (!) is equal to
that of the unary minus (-) negation operator. This still
allows POSIX-compliant scripts to work while somewhat
preserving expected behavior (versus C) and making parsing
easier.
5) "read()" accepts expressions, not only numeric literals.
config BUSYBOX_DC
bool "dc (36 kb)"
default y
help
dc is a reverse-polish notation command-line calculator which
supports unlimited precision arithmetic. See the FreeBSD man page
(https://www.unix.com/man-page/FreeBSD/1/dc/) and GNU dc manual
(https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/manual/dc-1.05/html_mono/dc.html).
This dc has a few differences from the two above:
1) When printing a byte stream (command "P"), this dc follows what
the FreeBSD dc does.
2) Implements the GNU extensions for divmod ("~") and
modular exponentiation ("|").
3) Implements all FreeBSD extensions, except for "J" and "M".
4) Like the FreeBSD dc, this dc supports extended registers.
However, they are implemented differently. When it encounters
whitespace where a register should be, it skips the whitespace.
If the character following is not a lowercase letter, an error
is issued. Otherwise, the register name is parsed by the
following regex: [a-z][a-z0-9_]*
This generally means that register names will be surrounded by
whitespace. Examples:
l idx s temp L index S temp2 < do_thing
Also note that, like the FreeBSD dc, extended registers are not
allowed unless the "-x" option is given.
if BUSYBOX_BC || BUSYBOX_DC # for menuconfig indenting
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DC_BIG
bool "Use bc code base for dc (larger, more features)"
default y
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DC_LIBM
bool "Enable power and exp functions (requires libm)"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_DC && !BUSYBOX_BC && !BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DC_BIG
help
Enable power and exp functions.
NOTE: This will require libm to be present for linking.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_BC_INTERACTIVE
bool "Interactive mode (+4kb)"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_BC || (BUSYBOX_DC && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DC_BIG)
help
Enable interactive mode: when started on a tty,
^C interrupts execution and returns to command line,
errors also return to command line instead of exiting,
line editing with history is available.
With this option off, input can still be taken from tty,
but all errors are fatal, ^C is fatal,
tty is treated exactly the same as any other
standard input (IOW: no line editing).
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_BC_LONG_OPTIONS
bool "Enable bc/dc long options"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_BC || (BUSYBOX_DC && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DC_BIG)
endif
config BUSYBOX_BEEP
bool "beep (2.4 kb)"
default y
help
The beep applets beeps in a given freq/Hz.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_BEEP_FREQ

range 20 50000 # allowing 0 here breaks the build
default 4000
depends on BUSYBOX_BEEP
help
Frequency for default beep.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_BEEP_LENGTH_MS
int "default length"
range 0 2147483647
default 30
depends on BUSYBOX_BEEP
help
Length in ms for default beep.
config BUSYBOX_CHAT
bool "chat (6.3 kb)"
default y
help
Simple chat utility.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_CHAT_NOFAIL
bool "Enable NOFAIL expect strings"
depends on BUSYBOX_CHAT
default y
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_FEATURE_CHAT_TTY_HIFI
bool "Force STDIN to be a TTY"
depends on BUSYBOX_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_FEATURE_CHAT_IMPLICIT_CR
bool "Enable implicit Carriage Return"
depends on BUSYBOX_CHAT
default y
help
When enabled make chat to terminate all SEND strings with a "\r"
unless "\c" is met anywhere in the string.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_CHAT_SWALLOW_OPTS
bool "Swallow options"
depends on BUSYBOX_CHAT
default y
help
Busybox chat require no options. To make it not fail when used
in place of original chat (which has a bunch of options) turn
this on.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_CHAT_SEND_ESCAPES
bool "Support weird SEND escapes"
depends on BUSYBOX_CHAT
default y
help
Original chat uses some escape sequences in SEND arguments which
are not sent to device but rather performs special actions.
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_FEATURE_CHAT_VAR_ABORT_LEN
bool "Support variable-length ABORT conditions"
depends on BUSYBOX_CHAT
default y
help
Original chat uses fixed 50-bytes length ABORT conditions. Say N here.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_CHAT_CLR_ABORT
bool "Support revoking of ABORT conditions"

default y
help
Support CLR_ABORT directive.

default y
select BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SYSLOG
help
Crond is a background daemon that parses individual crontab
files and executes commands on behalf of the users in question.
This is a port of dcron from slackware. It uses files of the
format /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> files, for example:
$ cat /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:

the superuser may specify a different user and/or crontab directory.
Note that busybox binary must be setuid root for this applet to
work properly.
config BUSYBOX_DEVFSD

This is deprecated and should NOT be used anymore.
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_DEVFSD_MODLOAD
bool "Adds support for MODLOAD keyword in devsfd.conf"
default y

config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DEVFS
bool "Use devfs names for all devices (obsolete)"
default n
help
This is obsolete and should NOT be used anymore.
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_DEVMEM

'makedevs' is a utility used to create a batch of devices with
one command.
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.

depends on BUSYBOX_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_WATCHDOG
bool "watchdog (5.3 kb)"
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.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_WATCHDOG_OPEN_TWICE
bool "Open watchdog device twice, closing it gracefully in between"
depends on BUSYBOX_WATCHDOG
default n # this behavior was essentially a hack for a broken driver
help
When enabled, the watchdog device is opened and then immediately
magic-closed, before being opened a second time. This may be necessary
for some watchdog devices, but can cause spurious warnings in the
kernel log if the nowayout feature is enabled. If this workaround
is really needed for you machine to work properly, consider whether
it should be fixed in the kernel driver instead. Even when disabled,
the behaviour is easily emulated with a "printf 'V' > /dev/watchdog"
immediately before starting the busybox watchdog daemon. Say n unless
you know that you absolutely need this.
