config BUSYBOX_ACPID
bool "acpid (9 kb)"
default y
help
acpid listens to ACPI events coming either in textual form from
/proc/acpi/event (though it is marked deprecated it is still widely
used and _is_ a standard) or in binary form from specified evdevs
(just use /dev/input/event*).
It parses the event to retrieve ACTION and a possible PARAMETER.
It then spawns /etc/acpi/<ACTION>[/<PARAMETER>] either via run-parts
(if the resulting path is a directory) or directly as an executable.
N.B. acpid relies on run-parts so have the latter installed.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_ACPID_COMPAT
bool "Accept and ignore redundant options"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_ACPID
help
Accept and ignore compatibility options -g -m -s -S -v.

config BUSYBOX_DMESG
bool "dmesg (3.7 kb)"
default y
help
dmesg is used to examine or control the kernel ring buffer. When the
Linux kernel prints messages to the system log, they are stored in
the kernel ring buffer. You can use dmesg to print the kernel's ring
buffer, clear the kernel ring buffer, change the size of the kernel
ring buffer, and change the priority level at which kernel messages
are also logged to the system console. Enable this option if you
wish to enable the 'dmesg' utility.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_DMESG_PRETTY
bool "Pretty output"

help
This option enables extended fbset options, allowing one to set the
framebuffer size, color depth, etc. interface to access a graphics
display. Enable this option if you wish to enable extended fbset
options.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE
bool "Enable readmode support"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_FBSET
help
This option allows fbset to read the video mode database stored by
default as /etc/fb.modes, which can be used to set frame buffer
device to pre-defined video modes.
config BUSYBOX_FDFORMAT
bool "fdformat (4.4 kb)"
default y
help
fdformat is used to low-level format a floppy disk.
config BUSYBOX_FDISK
bool "fdisk (37 kb)"
default y
help
The fdisk utility is used to divide hard disks into one or more
logical disks, which are generally called partitions. This utility
can be used to list and edit the set of partitions or BSD style
'disk slices' that are defined on a hard drive.
config BUSYBOX_FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS
bool "Support over 4GB disks"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_FDISK

config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
bool "Write support"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_FDISK
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change a partition table
and write those changes out to disk. If you leave this option
disabled, you will only be able to view the partition table.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_AIX_LABEL
bool "Support AIX disklabels"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_FDISK && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change AIX disklabels.
Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_SGI_LABEL
bool "Support SGI disklabels"

help
Enabling this option allows you to view GUID Partition Table
disklabels.
config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_FDISK_ADVANCED
bool "Support expert mode"
default y
depends on BUSYBOX_FDISK && BUSYBOX_FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to do terribly unsafe things like
define arbitrary drive geometry, move the beginning of data in a
partition, and similarly evil things. Unless you have a very good
reason you would be wise to leave this disabled.
config BUSYBOX_FINDFS
bool "findfs (12 kb)"
default y
select BUSYBOX_VOLUMEID
help
Prints the name of a filesystem with given label or UUID.
config BUSYBOX_FLOCK
bool "flock (6.3 kb)"
default y
help
Manage locks from shell scripts
config BUSYBOX_FDFLUSH
bool "fdflush (1.3 kb)"
default y
help
fdflush is only needed when changing media on slightly-broken
removable media drives. It is used to make Linux believe that a
hardware disk-change switch has been actuated, which causes Linux to
forget anything it has cached from the previous media. If you have
such a slightly-broken drive, you will need to run fdflush every time
you change a disk. Most people have working hardware and can safely
leave this disabled.
config BUSYBOX_FREERAMDISK
bool "freeramdisk (1.3 kb)"
default y
help
Linux allows you to create ramdisks. This utility allows you to
delete them and completely free all memory that was used for the
ramdisk. For example, if you boot Linux into a ramdisk and later
pivot_root, you may want to free the memory that is allocated to the
ramdisk. If you have no use for freeing memory from a ramdisk, leave
this disabled.
config BUSYBOX_FSCK_MINIX
bool "fsck.minix (13 kb)"
default y

The mkswap utility is used to configure a file or disk partition as
Linux swap space. This allows Linux to use the entire file or
partition as if it were additional RAM, which can greatly increase
the capability of low-memory machines. This additional memory is
much slower than real RAM, but can be very helpful at preventing your
applications being killed by the Linux out of memory (OOM) killer.
Once you have created swap space using 'mkswap' you need to enable
the swap space using the 'swapon' utility.

Also "mount -t sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" will try
"sometype [-o opts] fs /mnt" if simple mount syscall fails.
The idea is to use such virtual filesystems in /etc/fstab.

The pivot_root utility swaps the mount points for the root filesystem
with some other mounted filesystem. This allows you to do all sorts
of wild and crazy things with your Linux system and is far more
powerful than 'chroot'.
Note: This is for initrd in linux 2.4. Under initramfs (introduced
in linux 2.6) use switch_root instead.

config BUSYBOX_SWITCH_ROOT
bool "switch_root (5.5 kb)"
default y
help
The switch_root utility is used from initramfs to select a new
root device. Under initramfs, you have to use this instead of
pivot_root. (Stop reading here if you don't care why.)
Booting with initramfs extracts a gzipped cpio archive into rootfs
(which is a variant of ramfs/tmpfs). Because rootfs can't be moved
or unmounted*, pivot_root will not work from initramfs. Instead,
switch_root deletes everything out of rootfs (including itself),
does a mount --move that overmounts rootfs with the new root, and
then execs the specified init program.
* Because the Linux kernel uses rootfs internally as the starting
and ending point for searching through the kernel's doubly linked
list of active mount points. That's why.

Enabling this feature allows automatic mounting of files (containing
filesystem images) via the linux kernel's loopback devices.
The mount command will detect you are trying to mount a file instead
of a block device, and transparently associate the file with a
loopback device. The umount command will also free that loopback
device.
You can still use the 'losetup' utility (to manually associate files
with loop devices) if you need to do something advanced, such as
specify an offset or cryptographic options to the loopback device.
(If you don't want umount to free the loop device, use "umount -D".)

config BUSYBOX_FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT
bool "Support old /etc/mtab file"
default n
depends on BUSYBOX_MOUNT || BUSYBOX_UMOUNT
select BUSYBOX_FEATURE_MOUNT_FAKE
help
Historically, Unix systems kept track of the currently mounted
partitions in the file "/etc/mtab". These days, the kernel exports
the list of currently mounted partitions in "/proc/mounts", rendering
the old mtab file obsolete. (In modern systems, /etc/mtab should be
a symlink to /proc/mounts.)
The only reason to have mount maintain an /etc/mtab file itself is if
your stripped-down embedded system does not have a /proc directory.
If you must use this, keep in mind it's inherently brittle (for
example a mount under chroot won't update it), can't handle modern
features like separate per-process filesystem namespaces, requires
that your /etc directory be writable, tends to get easily confused
by --bind or --move mounts, won't update if you rename a directory
that contains a mount point, and so on. (In brief: avoid.)
About the only reason to use this is if you've removed /proc from
your kernel.
