3 Busybox is a multicall binary used to provide a minimal subset of
4 POSIX style commands and specialized functions.
6 It is geared toward 'mini-systems' like boot floppies. Specifically
7 it is used in the Debian Rescue/Install system (which caused the
8 original busybox to be made), the Linux Router Project, and others.
10 As of version 0.20 there is a version number. : )
11 Also as of version 0.20, BB is modularized to allow an easy build of
12 only the BB parts you need, to reduce binary size.
14 Edit the file busybox.def.h and comment out the parts you do not need
15 using C++ comments (//)
17 After the build is complete a busybox.links file is generated to allow
18 you to easily make the sym/hard links to the busybox binary.
20 Note the modular system is Makefile based, and purposly very
21 simplistic. It does no dependency checking. That is left for you
22 to figure out by trial and error.
