BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single
small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of the
utilities you usually find in bzip2, coreutils, file, findutils, gawk, grep,
inetutils, modutils, net-tools, procps, sed, shadow, sysklogd, sysvinit, tar,
util-linux, and vim. The utilities in BusyBox often have fewer options than
their full-featured cousins; however, the options that are included provide
the expected functionality and behave very much like their larger
counterparts.

BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited resources in
mind, both to produce small binaries and to reduce run-time memory usage.

The build automatically generates a file "busybox.links", which is used by
'make install' to create symlinks to the BusyBox binary for all compiled in
commands. Use the PREFIX environment variable to specify where to install
the busybox binary and symlink forest. (i.e., 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install',
or 'make PREFIX=/tmp/foo install-hardlinks' if you prefer hard links.)
commands. This uses the PREFIX environment variable to specify where to
install, and installs hardlinks or symlinks depending on the configuration
preferences. (You can also manually run the install script at
"applets/install.sh").
