help
Choose which shell you want to be executed by 'bash' alias.
The ash shell is the most bash compatible and full featured one,
although compatibility is far from being complete.
Note that selecting this option does not switch on any bash
compatibility code. It merely makes it possible to install
/bin/bash (sym)link and run scripts which start with
#!/bin/bash line.
Many systems use it in scripts which use bash-specific features,
even simple ones like $RANDOM. Without this option, busybox
can't be used for running them because it won't recongnize
"bash" as a supported applet name.

After "unset RANDOM" the generator will switch off and this
variable will no longer have special treatment.

config BUSYBOX_CTTYHACK
bool "cttyhack (2.4 kb)"
default y
help
One common problem reported on the mailing list is the "can't
access tty; job control turned off" error message, which typically
appears when one tries to use a shell with stdin/stdout on
/dev/console.
This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
The proper solution is to use the correct device instead of
/dev/console.
cttyhack provides a "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).
On Linux it also checks sysfs for a pointer to the active console.
If cttyhack is able to find the real console device, it closes
stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
Then it executes the given program. Opening the device will make
that device a controlling tty. This may require cttyhack
to be a session leader.
Example for /etc/inittab (for busybox init):
::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
Starting an interactive shell from boot shell script:
setsid cttyhack sh
Giving controlling tty to shell running with PID 1:
# exec cttyhack sh
Without cttyhack, you need to know exact tty name,
and do something like this:
# exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1'
Starting getty on a controlling tty from a shell script:
# getty 115200 $(cttyhack)

hush is a small shell. It handles the normal flow control
constructs such as if/then/elif/else/fi, for/in/do/done, while loops,
case/esac. Redirections, here documents, $((arithmetic))

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.
However, there are drawbacks: it is problematic in chroot jails
without mounted /proc, and ps/top may show command name as 'exe'
for applets started this way.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SH_NOFORK
bool "Run 'nofork' applets directly"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_SHELL_ASH || BUSYBOX_SHELL_HUSH
help
This option causes busybox shells 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. Report bugs
to project mailing list.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SH_READ_FRAC
bool "read -t N.NNN support (+110 bytes)"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_SHELL_ASH || BUSYBOX_SHELL_HUSH
help
Enable support for fractional second timeout in read builtin.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SH_HISTFILESIZE
bool "Use $HISTFILESIZE"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_SHELL_ASH || BUSYBOX_SHELL_HUSH
help
This option makes busybox shells to use $HISTFILESIZE variable
to set shell history size. Note that its max value is capped
by "History size" setting in library tuning section.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SH_EMBEDDED_SCRIPTS
bool "Embed scripts in the binary"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_SHELL_ASH || BUSYBOX_SHELL_HUSH
help
Allow scripts to be compressed and embedded in the busybox
binary. The scripts should be placed in the 'embed' directory
at build time. Like applets, scripts can be run as
'busybox SCRIPT ...' or by linking their name to the binary.
This also allows applets to be implemented as scripts: place
the script in 'applets_sh' and a stub C file containing
configuration in the appropriate subsystem directory.
