3 | Busybox is a multicall binary used to provide a minimal subset of | ||
4 | POSIX style commands and specialized functions. | ||
5 | |||
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. | ||
9 | |||
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. | ||
13 | |||
14 | Edit the file busybox.def.h and comment out the parts you do not need | ||
15 | using C++ comments (//) | ||
16 | |||
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. | ||
19 | |||
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. | ||
