help
Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
extraction.
On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about XXX bytes.
Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
probably say N here.

Please submit a patch to add help text for this item.
bunzip2 is an compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
The BusyBox bunzip2 applet is limited to de-compression only. On an
x86 system, this applet adds about XXX bytes.

run-parts is an utility designed to run all the scripts in a directory.
It is useful to set up a directory like cron.daily, where you need to

# BusyBox configuration option Help File
#
# Format of this file: description<nl>variable<nl>help text<nl><nl>.
# The help texts may contain empty lines, but every non-empty line must
# be indented two positions. Order of the help texts does not matter,
# however, no variable should be documented twice: if it is, only the
# first occurrence will be used. We try to keep the help texts of related
# variables close together. Lines starting with `#' are ignored. To be
# nice to menuconfig, limit your line length to 70 characters.
#
# Comments of the form "# Choice:" followed by a menu name are used
# internally by the maintainers' consistency-checking tools.
#
# If you add a help text to this file, please try to be as gentle as
# possible. Don't use unexplained acronyms and generally write for the
# hypothetical ignorant but intelligent user who has just bought a PC,
# removed Windows, installed Linux and is now compiling up BusyBox
# for the first time. Tell them what to do if they're unsure.
#
# Mention all the relevant READMEs and HOWTOs in the help text.
# Make them file URLs relative to the top level of the source tree so
# that help browsers can turn them into hotlinks. All URLs ahould be
# surrounded by <>.
#
# Repetitions are fine since the help texts are not meant to be read
# in sequence. It is good style to include URLs pointing to more
# detailed technical information, pictures of the hardware, etc.
#
# The most important thing to include in a help entry is *motivation*.
# Explain why someone configuring BusyBox might want to select your
# option.

Show verbose applets usage message
CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE
All BusyBox applets will show more verbose help messages when
busybox is invoked with --help. This will add lots of text to the
busybox binary. In the default configuration, this will add about
13k, but it can add much more depending on your configuration.
Enable automatic symlink creation for BusyBox built-in applets
CONFIG_FEATURE_INSTALLER
Enable 'busybox --install [-s]' support. This will allow you to use
busybox at runtime to create hard links or symlinks for all the
applets that are compiled into busybox. This feature requires the
/proc filesystem.
Locale support
CONFIG_LOCALE_SUPPORT
Enable this if your system has locale support, and you would like
busybox to support locale settings.
Enable devfs support
CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVFS
Enable if you want BusyBox to work with devfs.
Enable devfs support
CONFIG_FEATURE_DEVPTS
Enable if you want BusyBox to use Unix98 PTY support. If enabled,
busybox will use /dev/ptmx for the master side of the pseudoterminal
and /dev/pts/<number> for the slave side. Otherwise, BSD style
/dev/ttyp<number> will be used. To use this option, you should have
devpts or devfs mounted.
Clean up all memory before exiting
CONFIG_FEATURE_CLEAN_UP
As a size optimization, busybox by default does not cleanup memory
that is dynamically allocated or close files before exiting. This
saves space and is usually not needed since the OS will clean up for
us. Don't enable this unless you have a really good reason to clean
things up manually.
Buffers allocation policy
CONFIG_FEATURE_BUFFERS_USE_MALLOC
There are 3 ways BusyBox can handle buffer allocations:
- Use malloc. This costs code size for the call to xmalloc.
- Put them on stack. For some very small machines with limited stack
space, this can be deadly. For most folks, this works just fine.
- Put them in BSS. This works beautifully for computers with a real
MMU (and OS support), but wastes runtime RAM for uCLinux. This
behavior was the only one available for BusyBox versions 0.48 and
earlier.
Enable the ar applet
CONFIG_AR
ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
