8config CONFIG_AR
9 bool "ar"
10 default n
11 help
12 ar is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and
13 extract contents from archives. An archive is a single file holding
14 a collection of other files in a structure that makes it possible to
15 retrieve the original individual files (called archive members).
16 The original files' contents, mode (permissions), timestamp, owner,
17 and group are preserved in the archive, and can be restored on
18 extraction.
19
20 The stored filename is limited to 15 characters. (for more information
21 see long filename support).
22 ar has 60 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
23
24 This implementation of ar can extract archives, it cannot create or
25 modify them.
26 On an x86 system, the ar applet adds about 1K.
27
28 Unless you have a specific application which requires ar, you should
29 probably say N here.

31config CONFIG_FEATURE_AR_LONG_FILENAMES
32 bool " Enable support for long filenames (not need for debs)"
33 default n
34 depends on CONFIG_AR
35 help
36 By default the ar format can only store the first 15 characters of the
37 filename, this option removes that limitation.
38 It supports the GNU ar long filename method which moves multiple long
39 filenames into a the data section of a new ar entry.

41config CONFIG_BUNZIP2
42 bool "bunzip2"
43 default n
44 help
45 bunzip2 is a compression utility using the Burrows-Wheeler block
46 sorting text compression algorithm, and Huffman coding. Compression
47 is generally considerably better than that achieved by more
48 conventional LZ77/LZ78-based compressors, and approaches the
49 performance of the PPM family of statistical compressors.
50
51 The BusyBox bunzip2 applet is limited to de-compression only.
52 On an x86 system, this applet adds about 11K.
53
54 Unless you have a specific application which requires bunzip2, you
55 should probably say N here.

57config CONFIG_CPIO
58 bool "cpio"
59 default n
60 help
61 cpio is an archival utility program used to create, modify, and extract
62 contents from archives.
63 cpio has 110 bytes of overheads for every stored file.
64
65 This implementation of cpio can extract cpio archives created in the
66 "newc" or "crc" format, it cannot create or modify them.
67
68 Unless you have a specific application which requires cpio, you should
69 probably say N here.

71config CONFIG_DPKG
72 bool "dpkg"
73 default n
74 help
75 dpkg is a medium-level tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages.
76
77 This implementation of dpkg has a number of limitations, you should use the
78 official dpkg if possible.

82 default n
83 help
84 dpkg-deb packs, unpacks and provides information about Debian archives.
85
86 This implementation of dpkg-deb cannot pack archives.
87
88 Unless you have a specific application which requires dpkg-deb, you should

91config CONFIG_FEATURE_DPKG_DEB_EXTRACT_ONLY
92 bool " extract only (-x)"
93 default n
94 depends on CONFIG_DPKG_DEB
95 help
96 This reduces dpkg-deb to the equivalent of "ar -p <deb> data.tar.gz | tar -zx".
97 However it saves space as none of the extra dpkg-deb, ar or tar options are
98 needed, they are linked to internally.
99
100config CONFIG_GUNZIP
101 bool "gunzip"
102 default n
103 help
104 gunzip is used to decompress archives created by gzip.
105 You can use the `-t' option to test the integrity of
106 an archive, without decompressing it.

220 commonly found on DOS/WIN systems. The default behavior
221 (with no options) is to extract the archive into the

252 This allows dpkg and dpkg-deb to extract deb's that are compressed internally
253 with bzip2 instead of gzip.
254
255 You only want this if you are creating your own custom debian packages that
256 use an internal control.tar.bz2 or data.tar.bz2.
