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