config ACPID
bool "acpid"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
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 FEATURE_ACPID_COMPAT
bool "Accept and ignore redundant options"
default y
depends on ACPID
help
Accept and ignore compatibility options -g -m -s -S -v.
config BLKID
bool "blkid"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
select VOLUMEID
help
Lists labels and UUIDs of all filesystems.
WARNING:
With all submodules selected, it will add ~8k to busybox.
config FEATURE_BLKID_TYPE
bool "Print filesystem type"
default n
depends on BLKID
help
Show TYPE="filesystem type"
config DMESG
bool "dmesg"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
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 FEATURE_DMESG_PRETTY
bool "Pretty dmesg output"
default y
depends on DMESG
help
If you wish to scrub the syslog level from the output, say 'Y' here.
The syslog level is a string prefixed to every line with the form
"<#>".
With this option you will see:
# dmesg
Linux version 2.6.17.4 .....
BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f000 (usable)
Without this option you will see:
# dmesg

config FBSET
bool "fbset"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
fbset is used to show or change the settings of a Linux frame buffer
device. The frame buffer device provides a simple and unique
interface to access a graphics display. Enable this option
if you wish to enable the 'fbset' utility.
config FEATURE_FBSET_FANCY
bool "Turn on extra fbset options"
default y
depends on FBSET
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 FEATURE_FBSET_READMODE
bool "Turn on fbset readmode support"
default y
depends on 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 FDFLUSH
bool "fdflush"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
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 FDFORMAT
bool "fdformat"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
fdformat is used to low-level format a floppy disk.
config FDISK
bool "fdisk"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
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 FDISK_SUPPORT_LARGE_DISKS
bool "Support over 4GB disks"
default y
depends on FDISK
depends on !LFS # with LFS no special code is needed
help
Enable this option to support large disks > 4GB.
config FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
bool "Write support"
default y
depends on 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 FEATURE_AIX_LABEL
bool "Support AIX disklabels"
default n
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change AIX disklabels.
Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
config FEATURE_SGI_LABEL
bool "Support SGI disklabels"
default n
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change SGI disklabels.
Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
config FEATURE_SUN_LABEL
bool "Support SUN disklabels"
default n
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change SUN disklabels.
Most people can safely leave this option disabled.
config FEATURE_OSF_LABEL
bool "Support BSD disklabels"
default n
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to create or change BSD disklabels
and define and edit BSD disk slices.
config FEATURE_GPT_LABEL
bool "Support GPT disklabels"
default n
depends on FDISK && FEATURE_FDISK_WRITABLE
help
Enabling this option allows you to view GUID Partition Table
disklabels.
config FEATURE_FDISK_ADVANCED
bool "Support expert mode"
default y
depends on FDISK && 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 FINDFS
bool "findfs"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
select VOLUMEID
help
Prints the name of a filesystem with given label or UUID.
WARNING:
With all submodules selected, it will add ~8k to busybox.
config FLOCK
bool "flock"
default y
help
Manage locks from shell scripts
config FREERAMDISK
bool "freeramdisk"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
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 FSCK_MINIX
bool "fsck_minix"
default y
help
The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
with little overhead. It is not a journaling filesystem however and
can experience corruption if it is not properly unmounted or if the
power goes off in the middle of a write. This utility allows you to
check for and attempt to repair any corruption that occurs to a minix
filesystem.
config MKFS_EXT2
bool "mkfs_ext2"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
Utility to create EXT2 filesystems.
config MKFS_MINIX
bool "mkfs_minix"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
The minix filesystem is a nice, small, compact, read-write filesystem
with little overhead. If you wish to be able to create minix
filesystems this utility will do the job for you.
config FEATURE_MINIX2
bool "Support Minix fs v2 (fsck_minix/mkfs_minix)"
default y
depends on FSCK_MINIX || MKFS_MINIX
help
If you wish to be able to create version 2 minix filesystems, enable
this. If you enabled 'mkfs_minix' then you almost certainly want to
be using the version 2 filesystem support.
config MKFS_REISER
bool "mkfs_reiser"
default n
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
Utility to create ReiserFS filesystems.
Note: this applet needs a lot of testing and polishing.
config MKFS_VFAT
bool "mkfs_vfat"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
Utility to create FAT32 filesystems.
config GETOPT
bool "getopt"
default y
help
The getopt utility is used to break up (parse) options in command
lines to make it easy to write complex shell scripts that also check
for legal (and illegal) options. If you want to write horribly
complex shell scripts, or use some horribly complex shell script
written by others, this utility may be for you. Most people will
wisely leave this disabled.
config FEATURE_GETOPT_LONG
bool "Support option -l"
default y if LONG_OPTS
depends on GETOPT
help
Enable support for long options (option -l).
config HEXDUMP
bool "hexdump"
default y
help
The hexdump utility is used to display binary data in a readable
way that is comparable to the output from most hex editors.
config FEATURE_HEXDUMP_REVERSE
bool "Support -R, reverse of 'hexdump -Cv'"
default y
depends on HEXDUMP
help
The hexdump utility is used to display binary data in an ascii
readable way. This option creates binary data from an ascii input.
NB: this option is non-standard. It's unwise to use it in scripts
aimed to be portable.
config HD
bool "hd"
default y
depends on HEXDUMP
help
hd is an alias to hexdump -C.
config HWCLOCK
bool "hwclock"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
The hwclock utility is used to read and set the hardware clock
on a system. This is primarily used to set the current time on
shutdown in the hardware clock, so the hardware will keep the
correct time when Linux is _not_ running.
config FEATURE_HWCLOCK_LONG_OPTIONS
bool "Support long options (--hctosys,...)"
default y
depends on HWCLOCK && LONG_OPTS
help
By default, the hwclock utility only uses short options. If you
are overly fond of its long options, such as --hctosys, --utc, etc)
then enable this option.
config FEATURE_HWCLOCK_ADJTIME_FHS
bool "Use FHS /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime"
default n # util-linux-ng in Fedora 13 still uses /etc/adjtime
depends on HWCLOCK
help
Starting with FHS 2.3, the adjtime state file is supposed to exist
at /var/lib/hwclock/adjtime instead of /etc/adjtime. If you wish
to use the FHS behavior, answer Y here, otherwise answer N for the
classic /etc/adjtime path.
pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#VARLIBHWCLOCKSTATEDIRECTORYFORHWCLO
config IPCRM
bool "ipcrm"
default y
help
The ipcrm utility allows the removal of System V interprocess
communication (IPC) objects and the associated data structures
from the system.
config IPCS
bool "ipcs"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
The ipcs utility is used to provide information on the currently
allocated System V interprocess (IPC) objects in the system.
config LOSETUP
bool "losetup"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
losetup is used to associate or detach a loop device with a regular
file or block device, and to query the status of a loop device. This
version does not currently support enabling data encryption.
config LSPCI
bool "lspci"
default y
#select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
lspci is a utility for displaying information about PCI buses in the
system and devices connected to them.
This version uses sysfs (/sys/bus/pci/devices) only.
config LSUSB
bool "lsusb"
default y
#select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
lsusb is a utility for displaying information about USB buses in the
system and devices connected to them.
This version uses sysfs (/sys/bus/usb/devices) only.
config MKSWAP
bool "mkswap"
default y
help
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.
config FEATURE_MKSWAP_UUID
bool "UUID support"
default y
depends on MKSWAP
help
Generate swap spaces with universally unique identifiers.
config MORE
bool "more"
default y
help
more is a simple utility which allows you to read text one screen
sized page at a time. If you want to read text that is larger than
the screen, and you are using anything faster than a 300 baud modem,
you will probably find this utility very helpful. If you don't have
any need to reading text files, you can leave this disabled.
config PIVOT_ROOT
bool "pivot_root"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
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 RDATE
bool "rdate"
default y
help
The rdate utility allows you to synchronize the date and time of your
system clock with the date and time of a remote networked system using
the RFC868 protocol, which is built into the inetd daemon on most
systems.
config RDEV
bool "rdev"
default y
help
Print the device node associated with the filesystem mounted at '/'.
config READPROFILE
bool "readprofile"
default y
#select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
This allows you to parse /proc/profile for basic profiling.
config RTCWAKE
bool "rtcwake"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
Enter a system sleep state until specified wakeup time.
config SCRIPT
bool "script"
default y
help
The script makes typescript of terminal session.
config SCRIPTREPLAY
bool "scriptreplay"
default y
help
This program replays a typescript, using timing information
given by script -t.
config SWAPONOFF
bool "swaponoff"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
This option enables both the 'swapon' and the 'swapoff' utilities.
Once you have created some swap space using 'mkswap', you also need
to enable your swap space with the 'swapon' utility. The 'swapoff'
utility is used, typically at system shutdown, to disable any swap
space. If you are not using any swap space, you can leave this
option disabled.
config FEATURE_SWAPON_DISCARD
bool "Support discard option -d"
default y
depends on SWAPONOFF
help
Enable support for discarding swap area blocks at swapon and/or as
the kernel frees them. This option enables both the -d option on
'swapon' and the 'discard' option for swap entries in /etc/fstab.
config FEATURE_SWAPON_PRI
bool "Support priority option -p"
default y
depends on SWAPONOFF
help
Enable support for setting swap device priority in swapon.
config SWITCH_ROOT
bool "switch_root"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
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.
config UMOUNT
bool "umount"
default y
select PLATFORM_LINUX
help
When you want to remove a mounted filesystem from its current mount
point, for example when you are shutting down the system, the
'umount' utility is the tool to use. If you enabled the 'mount'
utility, you almost certainly also want to enable 'umount'.
config FEATURE_UMOUNT_ALL
bool "Support option -a"
default y
depends on UMOUNT
help
Support -a option to unmount all currently mounted filesystems.
comment "Common options for mount/umount"
depends on MOUNT || UMOUNT
config FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP
bool "Support loopback mounts"
default y
depends on MOUNT || UMOUNT
help
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 FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP_CREATE
bool "Create new loopback devices if needed"
default y
depends on FEATURE_MOUNT_LOOP
help
Linux kernels >= 2.6.24 support unlimited loopback devices. They are
allocated for use when trying to use a loop device. The loop device
must however exist.
This feature lets mount to try to create next /dev/loopN device
if it does not find a free one.
config FEATURE_MTAB_SUPPORT
bool "Support for the old /etc/mtab file"
default n
depends on MOUNT || UMOUNT
select 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.
